Product Description

A major work of German romanticism in a translation that is acknowledged as the definitive English language version. The Vintage Classics edition also includes NOVELLA, Goethe's poetic vision of an idyllic pastoral society.


From the Back Cover

"The world at once took possession of The Sorrows of Young Werther and it took possession of the world....It seemed as though the public in all countries, secretly and without their own knowledge, had been awaiting this very book by an unknown young man from a German Imperial city; that this book with revolutionary, liberating power emancipated the fettered yearnings of the civilized world. Napoleon, the iron man of destiny, had the French translation in his knapsack through Egyptian campaign. He claimed to have read it seven times."


--Thomas Mann

Translated by Elizabeth Mayer and Louise Brogan
Poems translated by W. H. Auden --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The German Shakespeare, Avril 12 2004
Par Roberto P. De Ferraz "ferraz9" (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Sorrows of Young Werther (Hardcover)
Goethe (1749-1832) is the most important of the German writers, a poet who surpassed the constraints of his time, being the brightest representative of German Enlightnement. Faust, his masterwork, portrays the inner struggle of a man who had everything on earth but who was profoundly disillusioned by the rigid limits imposed upon human life and creation, that in the search for the infinite of possibilities, sold his soul to the devil in order to grab with both hands whatever might come from the struggle between Good and Evil. Much of that human fight and quest is anticipated in the "Sorrows of the Young Werther", one of Goethe's first works and his very first romance, and a truly good one. Here the theme of the quest for the infinite and meanings in life is ever present and is beneath all the impossible interplay of Werther (Goethe himself), Lotte ( a feminine Lot, always looking backwards to face doom?) and her nondescript husband Albert.

As in Faust, the protagonist (Werther) had it all with books, and the only one he carries and reads is Homer, where, in his own words, no limits were yet established for human growth and expansion. As in "Romeo and Juliet", his is an impossible love, a human triangle that had to be bisected by a voluntary and violent farewell to his beloved Lotte - and to his life, something he finally accomplishes with the full knowledge of his beloved friend. The romance has a magnetic force upon the reader, who follows attentively the protagonist trough his epistolar via crucis with his friend Wilheim, untill the dramatic end. In my opinion, the romance is directly antipodal to Flaubert's Madame Bovary and as good as Madame Bovary, the latter being an ode of form against substance, the primacy of form against substance, while Goethe's romance is sheer substance (love, hate, etc...) at its height, and, along with Madame Bovary, must be reckoned on the list of the 100 best romances ever written. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

5.0étoiles sur 5 It's All About Werther, Déc 23 2003
Par Alane Fuller (Louisville, KY) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Sorrows of Young Werther (Paperback)
The key to really enjoying this work is to focus on the character. Of course, most of the work is writing in the form of letters, which makes the task exceedingly easy. Though this book can be very depressing (to some) and involves a lot of crying and reflection, Werther is so well-developed that I must praise Goethe for such a wonderful accomplishment. Personally, I could spend hours debating about Werther. This work definitely goes beyond what it indicates (forbidden love) to reveal a lot about our intricate natures as well as being a classic work of Romanticism.

1.0étoiles sur 5 The Insanity of Werther, Nov. 6 2003
This review is from: The Sorrows of Young Werther (Paperback)
My friend Jordie and I have read The Sorrows of Young Werther as well as several reviews of the novel and we have come to a single conclusion: He's mentally unstable. We find that it is NOT A TRAGIC LOVE STORY, but rather a story of a depressed, diluted individual completely disconnected from reality. Werther is too full his own virtue and cannot grasp the reality of his relationship to Charlotte. Werther's reaction to the events of his life are too emotional and over-dramatized. As we would say in German, ER IST VERRUECKT!!
