Here, Rudiger Safranski sets his sights on the writer considered
the Shakespeare of German literature. Goethe (1749-1832) awakened a
burgeoning German nation and the European continent with his
electrifying novel The Sorrows of Young Werther. Safranski scoured
Goethe's oeuvre, relying on primary sources as well as his
correspondence with contemporaries and their comments to one
another, to produce an illuminating portrait of the avatar of the
Romantic era. Set against the cultural and political turmoil of
Europe in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries,
Goethe, who intersected with almost every great figure of his age,
is thrillingly re-created here. As Safranski shows, Goethe's
greatest creation, even in comparison to his masterpiece Faust, was
his own life.
