Defects are perceived only by one who has no love; therefore, to see them, a man must become uncharitable, but not more so than is necessary for the purpose.

"Último grande poema dos tempos modernos", no dizer de Otto Maria Carpeaux, o fausto de Goethe está para a modernidade assim como a Comédia de Dante para a Idade Média. Representa não só a obra máxim

SCENE I.A Grove before the Temple of Diana.IPHIGENIA.Beneath your leafy gloom, ye waving boughsOf this old, shady, consecrated grove,As in the goddess silent sanctuary,With the same shuddring feeling forth I step,As when I trod it first, nor ever hereDoth my unquiet spirit feel at home.Long as the mighty will, to which I bow,Hath kept me here conceald, still, as at first,I feel myself a stranger. For the seaDoth sever me, alas! from those I love,And day by day upon the shore I stand,My soul still seeking for the land of Greece.But to my sighs, the hollow-sounding wavesBring, save their own hoarse murmurs, no reply.Alas for him! who friendless and alone,Remote from parents and from brethren dwells;From him grief snatches every coming joyEre it doth reach his lip. His restless thoughtsRevert for ever to his fathers halls,Where first to him the radiant sun unclosdThe gates of heavn; where closer, day by day,Brothers and sisters, leagud in pastime sweet,Around each other twind the bonds of love.I will not judge the counsel of the gods;

QUESTO LIBRO È A LAYOUT FISSO.In forma di romanzo epistolare, il giovane Werther racconta allamico Guglielmo il suo sfortunato amore per Lotte, gia promessa sposa di Alberto, arido, ma di buoni sentimenti, di cui peraltro e amico.Dopo aver strappato lunico bacio allamata, tormentato dalla gelosia, rinuncera ad un lungo viaggio per un finale tragico, tipicamente romantico.Il tono e semplice e puro come le passioni che sono rappresentate, ed i temi essenziali sono: Lamore sublimato e lunico conforto al deludente presente e la natura, portatrice di serenita e consolatrice.Johann Wolfgang Goethe nasce nel 1749 a Francoforte sul Meno da una famiglia borghese benestante. Studioso impegnato ma non per questo dimentico del gusto della vita, della gioia della gioventu e della bellezza. Muore a Weimar nel 1832. Tra le sue opere piu note: Faust, I dolori del giovane Werther.

« Un serin vole du miroir, et se perche sur son épaule. "Un nouvel ami", dit-elle, et elle l'attira sur sa main. "Il est destiné à mes petits. Il est si joli ! regardez-le. Quand je lui donne du pain, il bat des ailes, et becquete si gentiment ! Il me baise aussi : voyez." Lorsqu'elle présenta sa bouche au petit animal, il becqueta dans ses douces lèvres... "Il faut aussi qu'il vous baise", dit-elle, et elle me tendit l'oiseau. Son petit bec passa des lèvres de Charlotte aux miennes, et ses picotements furent comme un souffle précurseur, un avant-goût de jouissance amoureuse... "Il mange aussi dans ma bouche", dit-elle. Je détournai le visage. »

Werther es un joven vitalista al que le apasionan los espectáculos naturales, los niños como representación de un futuro prometedor y los poemas de Homero y Ossian. En su retiro en un pequeño pueblo aleman conoce a Lotte, de la que no tarda en enamorarse, a pesar de que ella esta ya prometida. La aparentemente sencilla historia de amor que se nos relata en Las penas del joven Werther se transforma, en manos de un genio como Goethe, en una innovadora obra de arte, toda una declaracion de principios en contra de las normas establecidas y en la que se nota la clara voluntad del autor de romper las fronteras del lenguaje y con la tradicion literaria anterior. Inmediatamente despues de su publicacion, la novela sacudio los cimientos de la cultura europea, se convirtio en punta de lanza del movimiento romantico al que precedio e hizo de su protagonista el modelo de toda una generacion de jovenes.

In "Letters from Switzerland and Travels in Italy," Johann Wolfgang von Goethe presents a brilliant amalgamation of personal reflection and travel narrative, revealing the profound influence of nature and culture on his artistic sensibilities. Written during his pivotal journeys in 1779 and 1786, these letters intertwine lyrical prose with vivid descriptions, showcasing Goethes Romantic ideals and his quest for aesthetic experience. This work not only captures the idyllic landscapes of Switzerland and Italy but also serves as a vehicle for Goethes evolving philosophical and artistic identity within the context of the Enlightenment and burgeoning Romanticism. Goethe, a polymath of the German Enlightenment, was profoundly influenced by his exposure to various cultures and natural environments during his travels. His literary prowess was shaped by his early encounters with the Sturm und Drang movement and the philosophies of Kant and Rousseau. These travels offered him a deeper understanding of the interplay between the self and the external world, informing his subsequent contributions to literature and philosophy.
