«Las afinidades electivas» is the novel by German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published in 2000 by Boreal in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
Eduard and Charlotte, an aristocratic couple, live peacefully on their estate. The arrival of the Captain, Eduard's friend, and Ottilie, Charlotte's ward, disrupts this balance and awakens unexpected attractions. Goethe uses the chemical theory of elective affinities to reflect on marriage, passion, and destiny.
The work was originally published in 1809 under the title «Die Wahlverwandtschaften». Translation by Ramón María Tenreiro.
A read for those seeking a European classic that combines the analysis of human relationships with a reflection on the nature of passion.
German writer, scientist and statesman, the towering figure of German-language literature and author of Faust and The Sorrows of Young Werther.
