Goethe esteve na Itália entre setembro de 1786 e abril de 1788. A infinidade de assuntos dos quais se ocupou ao longo dessa permanência reflete os múltiplos interesses do autor, ao mesmo tempo em que

Publicado por primeira vez en 1774, As mágoas do mozo Werther foi un dos libros máis lidos e máis influentes do seu tempo. Novela epistolar na que abrollan as paixóns e o mundo interior do ser humano, a obra de Johann Wolfgang von Goethe incluese no periodo estetico coñecido como Sturm und Drang e leva a literatura unha concepcion da escritura que reflicte a expresion mais espontanea, afastada das normas clasicas. Con ela, a narrativa abrelle as portas a expresion directa dos sentimentos e as emocions.

"Nació en Frankfurt del Main en 1749. Poeta, dramaturgo y filosofo, se halla a la altura de los grandes genios del Renacimiento. No solamente se dedico a las letras, sus estudios científicos son de gran valia. Ocupo diferentes cargos publicos en la corte de Weimar, donde llego a ejercer el cargo de ministro de Minas.En Fausto, narra la historia del doctor Fausto, quien en la primera parte realiza un pacto con Mefistofeles a cambio de la eterna juventud. En la segunda parte, despues de hallar lo mejor del hombre, Fausto muere al pronunciar las palabras claves del pacto, pero al final es redimido. Del año 1797 es el poema Herman y Dorotea, escrito en hexametros y dividido en nueve cantos que llevan cada uno el nombre de una musa. Se describe en el, y en una atmosfera perfectamente serena, el amor de Herman por la bella y dulce Dorotea, y la oposicion de los padres de el, vencida al fin por un feliz y luminoso desenlace."

Belagerung von Mainz von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Die Stadt wurde ab dem 14. April 1793 durch 32.000 Soldaten der Ersten Koalition (uberwiegend Preuen) eingekesselt. 23.000 Franzosen verteidigten die Stadt, was angesichts der Festungsbauwerke und trotz der Truppenverstarkung der Belagerungstruppen durch weitere 12.000 Osterreicher ausreichend erschien.Zunachst versuchten die preuischen Truppen, sich mit einer Reihe von Manovern der Forts zu bemachtigen. Nachdem dies ohne Erfolg geblieben war, begannen sie in der Nacht des 17. Juni 1793 mit der Bombardierung der Stadt. Die Geschichte dieser Belagerung wurde in den Jahren 1820 bis 1822 durch Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, der als Begleiter des Herzogs Karl August von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach an dieser Belagerung teilnahm, in Form eines fiktiven Tagebuches niedergeschrieben.Goethe sollte wohl als Kriegsberichterstatter fungieren, erhielt jedoch nicht die notwendige Freiheit hierzu. Nachdem er zu Beginn der Belagerung einiges detailliert notiert hatte, horte er spatestens am 7. Juli damit auf. In einem Brief an Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi schrieb er: Gerade das worauf alles ankommt darf man nicht sagen..Die Belagerung war militartaktisch nicht herausragend und eher eine Materialschlacht. Psychologisch und historisch war die Ruckeroberung der Stadt fur die Koalitionstruppen und das Reich unverzichtbar.

En esta novela epistolar y semiautobiográfica (pues Goethe se inspiró en sus amores con Charlotte Buff), se nos narra el desdichado amor del joven Werther por Lotte y las fatídicas consecuencias que de el se derivan: a traves de las cartas que Werther envia a su amigo Willhelm, el lector conocera todos los detalles de la tragedia desde su inicio: la llegada de Werther a la localidad de Wahlheim, el encuentro con Lotte en un baile y el amor que nace al instante por la joven, que ya esta comprometida con Albert. La situacion para ese triangulo en principio tan bien avenido se vuelve insostenible con el paso del tiempo, pues pone en juego elementos irreconciliables. Werther intuye que la armonia solo podra restablecerse con la desaparicion de uno de los vertices.
