Beskrivelse

The Sorrows of Young Werther (German, Die Leiden des jungen Werther) is a poignant epistolary novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, first published in 1774. This deeply emotional tale chronicles the tumultuous life of Werther, a young artist who becomes hopelessly infatuated with a beautiful woman who is already committed to another. The narrative is enriched by a striking climactic moment that showcases Goethes own German translation of a segment from James Macphersons Ossian poems, which were initially introduced as translations of ancient works, later revealed to be Macphersons own creations.
