Goette

The book has a reliable portrait of the great German encyclopedist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) “I have a huge advantage,” Goethe told one of my friends, “due to the fact that I was born in such an era when the greatest world events took place, And they did not stop throughout my long life, so I am a living witness to the Seven Years War, the falls of America from England, then the French Revolution and, finally, the entire Napoleonic era, up to the death of the hero and subsequent events. " The author of Faust and "suffering of the young Werther" turned out to be his restless time. He was not only a poet, but also a natural scientist, a thinker and a major statesman who had a significant impact on the course of the political history of Germany in the second half of the 18th - early 19th centuries
