Product Description
1850. Goethe is widely recognized as the greatest writer of the German tradition. The Romantic period in Germany is known as the age of Goethe, and Goethe embodies the concerns of the generation defined by the legacies of Rousseau, Kant, and the French Revolution. His eminence is derived not only from his literary achievements as a lyric poet, novelist, and dramatist but also from his often significant contributions as a scientist (geologist, botanist, anatomist, physicist, historian of science) and as a critic and theorist of literature and of art. This volume contains some of his most noted works including: Faust; Iphigenia in Taurus; Torquato Tasso; Egmont; and Goetz von Berlichingen, Sir Walter Scott's Introduction. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing. ... Read more

Product Description
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), geadelt 1782, ist als Dichter, Dramatiker, Theaterleiter, Naturwissenschaftler, Kunsttheoretiker und Staatsmann einer der bekanntesten Vertreter der Weimarer Klassik. Von 1765 bis 1768 studierte Goethe in Leipzig Jura. 1772 verliebte er sich unglücklich in die schon verlobte Charlotte Buff. Während dieser Phase entstand sein Roman Die Leiden des Jungen Werthers (1774). 1775 traf er in Weimar ein. Dort bekleidete er verschiedene Staatsämter. In diesen Jahren begann er sich mit der Biologie zu beschäftigen. Gemeinsam mit Justus Christian Loder entdeckte Goethe 1784 bei zielgerichteten Forschungen den Zwischenkieferknochen am menschlichen Schädel. Anfang 1786 unternahm Goethe eine Italienreise. Nach zwei Jahren kehrte er wieder nach Weimar zurück. 1791 übernahm er die Leitung des Hoftheaters in Weimar. Für die Neunziger Jahre war seine freundschaftliche, fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit mit Friedrich Schiller charakteristisch. Sein Werk umfasst Gedichte, Dramen und Prosa- Literatur, aber auch naturwissenschaftliche Abhandlungen. Er gilt als der bedeutendste deutsche Dichter und ist eine herausragende Persönlichkeit der Weltliteratur. Zu seinen Werken gehören auch: Götz von Berlichingen mit der Eisernen Hand (1773), Faust: Der Tragödie, Erster Teil (1797), Hermann und Dorothea (1798), WestÖstlicher Divan (1819) und Faust: Der Tragödie, Zweiter Teil (1832). ...

Product Description
This volume presents the four plays and the narrative poem that, along with Faust, established Goethe as one of the masters of European verse drama and epic. These works in particular display a balance between poetic form and ethical sensibility that characterizes much of Goethe's work during the era of Weimar Classicism. Here we are offered new translations of the dramas Iphigenia in Tauris, Torquato Tasso, The Natural Daughter, and Pandora and of the epic poem Hermann and Dorothea. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A vital sourcebook on the life and art of the great genius
Eckerman is dutiful and respectful. And he asks the great man questions about his art and his view of the world. Goethe is usually very interesting , and gives information and insight which can be gotten nowhere else. In one exhange he for instance explains why his works cannot be ' popular' but are suited for readers are a certain special kind of mind and heart. In another he utters these well known words about his life and art.
"I have ever been esteemed one of Fortune's chiefest favourites; nor will I complain or find fault with the course my life has taken. Yet, truly, there has been nothing but toil and care; and I may say that, in all my seventy-five years, I have never had a month of genuine comfort. It has been the perpetual rolling of a stone, which I have always had to raise anew. My annals will render clear what I now say. The claims upon my activity, both from within and without, were too numerous.
My real happiness was my poetic meditation and production. But how was this disturbed, limited and hindered by my external position! Had I been able to abstain more from public business, and to live more in solitude, I should have been happier, and should have accomplished more as a poet."
This is a vital source book for understanding one of the world's great geniuses.

This volume contains such important essays as "On Gothic Architecture," "On the Laocoon Group," and "Shakespeare: A Tribute." Several works in this collection appear for the first time unabridged and in fresh translations. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Wolfgang's essay's and poetry in general
wolfgang is an interesting author. many of his poems and essays are about romance and love. if you like reading abstract poetry and getting into sweet and very interesting storites you will love Wolfgang!

3-0 out of 5 stars interesting take on goethe
This piece is beautiful.Regardless of whether you're a fan of Romanticism, you will like this book, for it appeals to all perspectives and preferences.What is wonderful is that Goethe, (as Romantic as he was)was only defined during this period for his superficial criticism anddefnition of the self in the traditionally romantic isolated fashion.Heis however, as one reads him would come to know, highly an Enlightenedthinker and realizes the inadequacy of Romanticism.You'll love thisone.

3-0 out of 5 stars Great If You're A Fan
The book is a wonderful example of Goethe's writting and gives one an insight to his mind.However, it isn't like Faust and is easily set aside.I't good, but don't read it if your not a Romantic, a Germanspeaker, aGoethe Fan, or all three.Try Volume I of this collection, Selected Poems,if your not (You'll wish you were). ...

5-0 out of 5 stars As much a love story as a biography
There is nothing homoerotic in the account of the relationship between Eckermann and Goethe but the love and admiration the author displays for his subject shines through every one of the beautifully related narratives of their time together. This book is not just an intimate insight into the mind of a poetic genius and genuine polymath, set against fascinating details of the historic events taking place in Europe at that time; it is a portrait of a relationship between a young man and his senior, whom he admires almost without reservation.

The dynamic between them often reveals itself as that of father and son and master and pupil rolled into one but always through Eckermann's wonderfully controlled and matter-of-fact writing style. None the less, his admiration for Goethe and the strength of his attachment are revealed at the end of his account, when he tells of Goethe's death with typical emotional restraint.

Subsequently, he admits that on the following day, he cannot keep from visiting Goethe's house once more and in the presence of his laid out body, weeps openly for the loss of a dear friend.

This is the conclusion of a profoundly civilised book; one that is as moving as it is enlightening and which continues with a deep resonance long after it is read.

5-0 out of 5 stars It should be required reading for artists and biographers.
Here Goethe shares his opinions on drama, poetry, music, painting, philosophy, and prominent figures of the day.

What makes this book so much better than a mere interview is that instead of getting a load of useless answers in response to imbecilic questions, we get impromptu pearls of wisdom, straight from the master, interspersed among stretches of his daily life.

Eckermann is a master biographer here, because he's close enough to the subject to elicit candor, but not so close that he is oblivious to the subject's flaws.Furthermore, he was adept enough to get the old man to speak at length with almost no questioning at all!

I won't say any more, because words just can't do it justice.

5-0 out of 5 stars Meet the Titan and Wonder
J.P. Eckermann meets J.W. von Goethe, while the Great Poet is in his 70's thought still spry in mind and producing some of the world's greatest poems (West-Eastern Divan) and, of course, Part II of Faust.Eckermann is to Goethe as Boswell was to Dr. Johnson.He chronicles his conversations with the German sage, who in these wondrous pages, reveals his mind-blowing, jaw-dropping multi-disciplinary genius...the likes of which has not been known since his death...and the lack of which may be leading us all to ruin.

It is a delightful book, which unfortunately due to our provincial focus on all things in English, has very limited popular appeal. Nevertheless, I encourage any with an interest in a grander time when men discussed, without ridicule art, architecture, drama, and les belles lettres, to read Eckermann's conversations with Goethe.After learning from Eckermann about this great man, you may consider the motto, that I often invoke...What Would Goethe Do?

5-0 out of 5 stars A friend between the covers. . .
I love Goethe's creative works and his scientific theories, but most of all I love this book.I travel with it, look in it for advice and conversation.As an artist Goethe was incomparable; as a scientist he was curious, alive, observant, questioning -- but as a man who lived a life with a conscious intention to make his life a work of his own mind and heart he is the master and that master is found in the pages of this book.When I need a wise friend, I turn here and find, beside the wisdom, a silly person who thought spectacles were an affectation, an attempt on the part of someone to be something he was not. . .

5-0 out of 5 stars A Relatively Unknown, Yet Great Book
While in graduate school in Australia I happened in a pub (which is not extraordinary in itself) and got to talking with the bar-tender. It turns out that he was a student at the Univ. of Queensland too and was getting his MA in German. I told him how much I enjoyed Nietzche, who was the focus of his thesis, and eventually we got around to Eckermann's Coversations. I told him it was one of the best books that I had ever read: so quaint and yet probing. The reader sits in the drawing room and hears the most extrodinary discussions. In this way it reminds me of Sherlock Holmes and Watson. It is so civilized that it is almost nostalgic--but far too potent for that due to the genuis involved (Eckermann's mind ain't to shabby either). The newly made friend expressed amazement that an English major happened on this book; he said that I had been the only person outside the German dept that he had met that had ever read the book, or even heard of it (and this in a much more literate country than here). This is truely a shame we agreed. Ease-drop on a better time when scholars were gentleman, and in search of the truth not some PC BS, and were enamored with ideas. Goethe's Maxims is also highly recommended--as Faust and his other better known works. A Western classic, like the subject. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece, chopped, and sown together
I read this book, and half way through, discovered that it was edited, with large segments missing from the original text.

The translation is excellent... although a smack too modern to be Goethe.But the editorial work done on the masterpiece is a shame.Significant parts were cut out from both parts I and II, for effect (this version was to be broadcasted over the radio).

However, for an introduction to Goethe's Faust, this is a great read.One could read this in one sitting.But for real scholarship, and those who would like an ampler fill... take a full unabridged translation. ... Read more

Product Description

Widely considered the father of German literature, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a polymath whose life and thoughts made a huge impact on European philosophy, science, and literature. This scrupulously-researched biography explores the philosophical preoccupations that drove Goethe to become a prolific poet, novelist, and playwright, and also examines the ways in which he was both influenced by and exerted influenced upon the tenets of the European Enlightenment. Erudite but accessible, this is an engaging look at one of history’s most influential thinkers and authors.
