The Sorrows of Young Werther
Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
The story of the spiritual torments and tragic death of a sensitive young man, suffering from unrequited love for another man's fiancée and the indifference of society, so captivated the minds of the European reading public that it led to a wave of suicides - young peers of Werther, obsessed with the idea of spiritual closeness to their beloved literary hero, followed his example by the dozens, and perhaps even hundreds, taking their own lives. Do we need any other arguments to demonstrate the power of talent and psychological persuasiveness possessed by this novel? In addition to "The Sorrows of Young Werther," the collection also includes the poem "Hermann and Dorothea" - a lyrical masterpiece about the love of a simple German peasant youth for a young refugee girl from war-torn France whom he meets by chance on the road.
