In 1814, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe read the poems of the great fourteenth-century Persian poet Hafiz in a newly published translation by Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall. For Goethe, the book was a revelation. He felt a deep connection with Hafiz and Persian poetic traditions, and was immediately inspired to create his own West-Eastern Divan as a lyrical conversation between the poetry and history of his native Germany and that of Persia. The resulting collection engages with the idea of the other and unearths lyrical connections between cultures. The West-Eastern Divan is one of the world's great works of literature, an inspired masterpiece, and a poetic linking of European and Persian traditions. This new bilingual edition expertly presents the wit, intelligence, humor, and technical mastery of the poetry in Goethe's Divan. In order to preserve the work's original power, Eric Ormsby has created this translation in clear contemporary prose rather than in rhymed verse, which tends to obscure the works sharpness. This edition is also accompanied by explanatory notes of the verse in German and in English and a translation of Goethe's own commentary, the "Notes and Essays for a Better Understanding of the West-Eastern Divan." This edition not only bring this classic collection to English-language readers, but also, at a time of renewed Western unease about the other, to open up the rich cultural world of Islam.

Elective Affinities, also translated under the title Kindred by Choice, is the third novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published in 1809. The title is taken from a scientific term once used to describe the tendency of chemical species to combine with certain substances or species in preference to others. The novel is based on the metaphor of human passions being governed or regulated by the laws of chemical affinity, and examines whether or not the science and laws of chemistry undermine or uphold the institution of marriage, as well as other human social relations. The story is situated around the city of Weimar. Goethe's main characters are Eduard and Charlotte, an aristocratic couple both in their second marriage, enjoying an idyllic but semi-dull life on the grounds of their rural estate. They invite the Captain, Eduard's childhood friend, and Ottilie, the beautiful, orphaned, coming-of-age niece of Charlotte, to live with them...

Werther is a young artist of a sensitive and passionate temperament. He meets Charlotte, a beautiful young girl who takes care of her siblings after the death of their mother, and falls in love with her although knowing beforehand that she is engaged. Despite the pain it causes him, Werther keeps spending time with Charlotte, but his pain eventually becomes so great that he is forced to leave. After a short absence, he comes back to find Charlotte married, and his agony becomes a threat.

Wilhelm Meister- the hero of the story - undergoes a journey of self-realization. The story centres upon Wilhelm's attempt to escape what he views as the empty life of a bourgeois businessman. After a failed romance with the theatre, Wilhelm commits himself to the mysterious Tower Society. Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years or His Travels - Consisting largely of discrete short stories and novellas woven together with elements of the epistolary novel, lengthy sections of aphorisms, and several interspersed poems, the sequel is a treat to read! A major theme running through the various parts of the novel is that of "Entsagung," translatable as "renunciation." The most famous section of the novel is probably the episode in which the protagonist and his son Felix visit the "Pedagogical Province."

Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship centers upon the protagonist attempt to escape what he views as the empty life of a bourgeois businessman. Wilhelm is introduced to William Shakespeare's dramas by Jarno, and after extensive discussion of Shakespeare's work they decide to gather a theater group. They give a production of Hamlet, in which Wilhelm plays the lead role. After a failed romance with the theater, Wilhelm commits himself to the mysterious Tower Society, and undergoes a journey of self-realization.

"All extraordinary men, who have accomplished great and astonishing actions, have ever been decried by the world as drunken or insane." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, in The Sorrows of Young WertherThe Sorrows of Young Werther (1774), written by Johan Wolfgang von Goethe when he was 24, became his most important work and one of the first important novels of the Sturm und Drang movement in German literature. This novel is about an unhappy romantic infatuation that ends in suicide. Its hero, Werther, an obsessive figure driven to despair by his unrequited love for the young Charlotte, has become a pervasive literary archetype. This edition is a republication of the translation by Thomas Carlyle, edited by Nathan Haskell Dole and originally published in 1902. The complete 14-volume set, The Works of J.W. von Goethe, is also available from Cosimo Classics.

Mit seinem im Jahr 1790 erschienenen Werk würdigt Dichterfürst Goethe den italienischen Dichter Torquato Tasso (1544-1559). Der Reiz für den Leser besteht nach Ansicht von Literaturexperten darin, den Sinneswandel des Protagonisten zu verstehen, der tief verzweifelt und schließlich resignierend beschrieben wird.

Faust. Eine Tragödie (auch bekannt als Faust. Der Tragödie erster Teil oder einfach Faust I) von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ist wohl das bedeutendste Werk der deutschen Literatur. Erstmals wurde die Tragödie im Jahr 1808 veröffentlicht. Goethe wurde von der Geschichte des historischen Doktor Johann Faustus inspiriert, der bereits Protagonist in einem 1587 erschienenen Volksbuch und in einem Drama von Christopher Marlowes, 1589 uraufgeführt, war.
