Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, página 7 de 31

Johann Wolfgang von Goethes Faust is a tragic play in verse. Faust does not seek power through knowledge, but access to transcendent knowledge denied to the rational mind.Faust takes place in multiple settings, the first of which is heaven. Mephistopheles makes a bet with God: he says that he can lure Gods favorite human being (Faust), who is striving to learn everything that can be known, away from righteous pursuits. The next scene takes place in Fausts study where Faust, despairing at the vanity of scientific, humanitarian and religious learning, turns to magic for the showering of infinite knowledge. He suspects, however, that his attempts are failing. Frustrated, he ponders suicide, but rejects it as he hears the echo of nearby Easter celebrations begin. He goes for a walk with his assistant Wagner and is followed home by a stray poodle.In Fausts study, the poodle transforms into the devil (Mephistopheles). Faust makes an arrangement with the devil: the devil will do everything that Faust wants while he is here on Earth, and in exchange Faust will serve the devil in Hell. Fausts arrangement is that if he is pleased enough with anything the devil gives him that he wants to stay in that moment forever, then he will die in that moment.

In "Egmont," Johann Wolfgang von Goethe presents a poignant exploration of the complexities of freedom and tyranny, encapsulated within the tumultuous backdrop of the Eighty Years War. This tragic play, written in a lyrical style, weaves rich imagery and philosophical dialogue, reflecting the Romantic emphasis on individualism and emotional depth. GoetheAos nuanced character development, particularly that of the idealistic Egmont, serves as a vehicle for examining the tensions between personal liberty and societal constraints, resulting in a compelling narrative that resonates with the existential questions of the human condition. Goethe, a luminary of German literature, was profoundly influenced by the sociopolitical upheavals of his time and his own experiences in art and politics. His involvement in the Sturm und Drang movement shares a kinship with the revolutionary themes in "Egmont," reflecting his engagement with the ideas of Enlightenment thinkers. The interplay of personal aspiration against the authoritarian backdrop mirrors Goethes own struggles with identity, freedom, and artistic expression, ultimately imbuing the work with deep philosophical undercurrents. This essential masterpiece is highly recommended for readers interested in the interplay of character and ideology within the framework of European political history. "Egmont" serves not only as a historical reflection but also as a timeless contemplation of the human spirits resilience against oppression, making it a critical addition to the library of any lover of literature.

Escritos durante una estancia forzosa de Goethe en la ciudad de los canales, los Epigramas venecianos son el primer ejemplo moderno de poesía urbana. En estos epigramas el poeta va plasmando sus impresiones sobre la ciudad, sus instituciones y su vida cotidiana, y muy en concreto sobre la vida amorosa y las facilidades que la misma ofrecia para su realizacion... todo ello con un tono ironico, desenfadado, desvergonzado en ocasiones, sin pensar en si lo que escribia seria mas tarde publicable. Y, en efecto, la version completa de los Epigramas venecianos tuvo que esperar mas de un siglo para poder ser publicada en Alemania y mas de dos para ser traducida y publicada integramente en España.

Werther es una novela importante del movimiento Sturm und Drang en la literatura alemana. Es uno de los pocos trabajos de este movimiento que Goethe escribió antes de que, junto a Friedrich von Schiller, comenzara el movimiento clasico de Weimar. Tambien influyo en la literatura del Romanticismo que siguio a este movimiento.

Werther is a young artist of a sensitive and passionate temperament. He meets Charlotte, a beautiful young girl who takes care of her siblings after the death of their mother, and falls in love with her although knowing beforehand that she is engaged. Despite the pain it causes him, Werther keeps spending time with Charlotte, but his pain eventually becomes so great that he is forced to leave. After a short absence, he comes back to find Charlotte married, and his agony becomes a threat.

Elective Affinities, also translated under the title Kindred by Choice, is the third novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published in 1809. The title is taken from a scientific term once used to describe the tendency of chemical species to combine with certain substances or species in preference to others. The novel is based on the metaphor of human passions being governed or regulated by the laws of chemical affinity, and examines whether or not the science and laws of chemistry undermine or uphold the institution of marriage, as well as other human social relations. The story is situated around the city of Weimar. Goethes main characters are Eduard and Charlotte, an aristocratic couple both in their second marriage, enjoying an idyllic but semi-dull life on the grounds of their rural estate. They invite the Captain, Eduards childhood friend, and Ottilie, the beautiful, orphaned, coming-of-age niece of Charlotte, to live with them...

Wilhelm Meister- the hero of the story - undergoes a journey of self-realization. The story centres upon Wilhelms attempt to escape what he views as the empty life of a bourgeois businessman. After a failed romance with the theatre, Wilhelm commits himself to the mysterious Tower Society.Wilhelm Meisters Journeyman Years or His Travels - Consisting largely of discrete short stories and novellas woven together with elements of the epistolary novel, lengthy sections of aphorisms, and several interspersed poems, the sequel is a treat to read! A major theme running through the various parts of the novel is that of "Entsagung," translatable as "renunciation." The most famous section of the novel is probably the episode in which the protagonist and his son Felix visit the "Pedagogical Province."

" Con claras influencias de la poesia Oriental y del romamanticismo occidental, La Serpiente Verde, es uno de los cuentos fantasticos más seduductores de Goethe. Se enlazan personajes sin dejar nada al azar y sin que ningun eslabon quede suelto."

Goethe - Las afinidades electivas, cuyo título original es Die Wahlverwandtschaften, es una novela del escritor alemán Johann Wolfgang von Goethe publicada en 1809.

En Las penas del joven Werther, el más influyente de sus libros, escrito a la impresionable edad de veinticuatro años, Goethe recoge no pocos componentes autobiográficos. Otra parte nada despreciable de esta novela epistolar que narra un triangulo amoroso traduce las versiones espurias que de poemas ossianicos hiciera James Macpherson, y su encendido apasionamiento prendio en el movimiento romantico que por entonces estaba a punto de surgir en Alemania. No faltan coincidencias, por otra parte, con ese canto de amor imposible que acaba en muerte que hallamos en el Tristan e Isolda de Wolfram von Eschenbach (quintaesenciado en Wagner), quien, como Goethe a traves del ossianismo de Macpeherson, bebia en fuentes celticas altomedievales. Napoleon Bonaparte fue rendido admirador de este libro, que actuo como espoleta de la mas grave decision de cientos y cientos de jovenes lectores despechados en un fenomeno que podria haber glosado John Donne en su Biathanatos en tiempos en que aun no se habia acuñado la palabra suicidio. William Thackeray, Mary Shelley, Bohumil Hrabal, Ugo Foscolo o Thomas Mann son solo algunos de los autores que se han inspirado en esta arrebatadora novela de la que solo en España se publicaron decenas de ediciones.
