Description: Sorrows of Young Werther, Paperback by Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von; Constantine, David (TRN), ISBN 0199583021, ISBN-13 9780199583027, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The Sorrows of Young Werther propelled Goethe to instant fame when it first appeared in 1774. Goethes story of a sensitive young artist--an alienated youth of searching introspection and passionate intensity--captured the Romantic sensibility of the day and led to a wave of imitations.
Translated by the award-winning author David Constantine, this new edition captures the novels lyric clarity and powerful immediacy. In addition, Constantines critical introduction sheds light on the autobiographical background, the novels epistolary form and structure, and Werthers reception
and afterlife. The explanatory notes illuminate contemporary allusions, literary references, and the parallels with Goethes life.
