（德）歌德（Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe）著

About the Author

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the towering figure of German literature, was born in 1749 in Frankfurt and became one of the most influential writers of the Romantic era. A polymath whose interests spanned poetry, drama, science, and philosophy, Goethe's works profoundly shaped European thought and culture. His novel The Sorrows of Young Werther, published in 1774, catapulted him to fame with its intense exploration of unrequited love, passion, and the Sturm und Drang movement's emotional turbulence, inspiring a wave of 'Werther fever' across the continent. Throughout his prolific career, Goethe delved into the human condition, blending classical restraint with revolutionary fervor, leaving an indelible mark on world literature until his death in 1832.
