«Ein liebender Mann» is the novel by Martin Walser, published by Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag in paperback (284 pages, in German).
At 73, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe falls in love with 19-year-old Ulrike von Levetzow, whom he meets in Marienbad in 1823. The novel follows the pulse of that late passion: the vitality it restores to the writer contrasts with the wear of his body and with the certainty that this love cannot prosper.
The work, subtitled Roman, was shortlisted for the Deutscher Buchpreis 2008. This Rowohlt Taschenbuch edition was published in November 2009.
For readers of historical fiction and German fiction interested in Goethe and stories of impossible love.
Martin Johannes Walser was a German writer, known especially as a novelist. He began his career as journalist for Süddeutscher Rundfunk, where he wrote and directed audio plays. He was a member of Group 47 from 1953 on.
