«Le affinità elettive» is the classic novel by Johann Wolfgang Goethe, published by Rizzoli in paperback (368 pages, in Italian).
Eduardo and Carlota see their life disrupted when two guests arrive at their home. With the chemical metaphor of elective affinities, Goethe describes human passions that escape reason and social conventions, leading to a tragic outcome where sacrifice and renunciation become inevitable.
The edition belongs to the Superclassici collection of the Biblioteca Universale Rizzoli. The work, written in German as «Die Wahlverwandtschaften», was originally published in 1809.
For readers of classic European literature who want to explore Goethe's work and the universe of nineteenth-century German Romanticism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a German polymath who is widely regarded as the most influential writer in the German language. His work has had a wide-ranging influence on literary, political, Christian views, and philosophical thought in the Western world from the late 18th century to the present. A poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre-director, and critic, Goethe wrote a wide range of works, including plays, poetry and aesthetic criticism, as well as treatises on botany, anatomy, and colour.
