The Golden Goblet (ePub)

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) is the most prominent and influential figure in German letters. Born in Frankfurt, he published his breakout novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther, in 1774 at the age of twenty-five, and the first part of his lyric masterpiece, Faust, in 1808. Goethe was a poet, novelist, literary critic, diplomat, and scientist, publishing works crossing the spectrum from tales of romantic despair to dense scientific tomes. His involvement in the literary movement Sturm und Drang was formative in the development of Romanticism, and his writings created a new paradigm in German high culture.
