«Sufferings of Young Werther» is the epistolary novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published by Ungar Pub Co in paperback (161 pages, in English).
Written as letters from the young Werther, it recounts his stay in a German village and his love for Lotte, engaged to another man. That impossible passion plunges him into an anguish that leads to a tragic end. A work inspired by Goethe's own experiences, it was decisive for Romanticism and for the archetype of the sensitive, tormented hero.
The English translation of this edition is by Bayard Quincy Morgan. The novel was originally published in 1774 under the title «Die Leiden des jungen Werthers».
Recommended for literature students and readers interested in the classics of German Romanticism.
German writer, scientist and statesman, the towering figure of German-language literature and author of Faust and The Sorrows of Young Werther.
