Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe nació el 28 de agosto de 1749 en Frankfurt am Main (Alemania), hijo de un oficial del gobierno alemán. Tras residir en su ciudad natal, se trasladó a Leipzig para estudiar derecho. Allí conoce a una de las personas de mayor significación en su vida, el filósofo Johann Gottfried Von Herder. Con Herder, que le introduce en la obra de William Shakespeare, crea un nuevo movimiento literario, de carácter rebelde con las apariencias tradicionales de la literatura de su país, que se denominará Sturm und Drang, el cual sienta las bases del romanticismo alemán y abre nuevas perspectivas a la escritura germana. Un viaje por tierras italianas le empapará de cultura grecorromana, abandonando parte de los postulados del Sturm und Drang y adoptando una postura más clasicista. Johann Wofgang Von Goethe fallecería en Weimar, el 22 de marzo de 1832.
LAS DESVENTURAS DEL JOVEN WERTHER - Las desventuras del joven Werther (1774) es uno de los libros más populares y conocidos dentro de la amplia y extensa obra de Johann Wolfgang Goethe, uno de los grandes autores del romanticismo europeo. Partiendo de una experiencia amorosa personal, Goethe traspone la historia de un amor imposible -el sentimiento de Werther hacia Carlota- que acaba en un final trágico. El famoso suicidio de Werther impregna el romanticismo universal y establece la figura del héroe romántico capaz del máximo sacrificio -el de la vida por un sentimiento noble pero irrealizable como el del amor. Con Werther, novela epistolar, Goethe crea la figura del suicida romántico.

"A woeful tale of unrequited love and sentimental torment that led to the despondent protagonist's willful death. Never have I been moved by such a book; and so my question is: Was this work of tragedy too much, or simply enough? " — amorevolefe (5 out of 5 stars)
"A woeful tale of unrequited love and sentimental torment that led to the despondent protagonist's willful death. Never have I been moved by such a book; and so my question is: Was this work of tragedy too much, or simply enough? "
" I read it for school, and I will never regret reading it. I actually found a lot of myself in Werther, his words, feelings, suffering, and especially his way of expressing. I love it all. Romanticism is the best!! "
" Great classic. I'll probably read it again soon and have a better review. It goes fast, too. "
" As an American male, I found no connection with the effeminate German. All conflict was internal. All nature, everything and everyone except Werther, is entirely an impression of Werther's emotion. No subjectivity is offered to the other characters. "
" Tempted to give it 5 stars, but my lingering urge to slap Werther is still too strong. He was the original emo kid. "
" Bunuh diri adalah kehormatan "
" I am amazed that William kept writing him back. "
" The translation must have spoiled its oft-lauded beauty for me. The story, such as it is, forms the simple ur-text of romanticism and is still pervasive today. Yawn. The Ossian passages escaped my comprehension. I'll improve my understanding with some research. I found it a tough slog. "
" Do you think napoleon would read a four-star book seven times? "
" He's unhappy because he can't get the chick he wants. He kills himself, leaving the message he did it because of her. How nice of him. "
" Alas! Oh, alas! I'll never stop crying until the end of my days! Another such man really existed? Alas! Oh, alas! "
