The Sorrows of Young Werther was Goethe's first major success, turning him from an unknown into a celebrated author practically overnight. Napoleon Bonaparte considered it one of the great works of European literature. He thought so highly of it that he wrote a soliloquy in Goethe's style in his youth and carried Werther with him on his campaigning to Egypt.

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...

Die Freundschaftsgeschichte DER beiden deutschen Geistesgrößen. Jeder der beiden sagte vom anderen, er sei ihm der wichtigste Mensch gewesen. Sie waren grundverschieden, doch Gegensätze ziehen sich an. Intuition und Gefühl bei Goethe, scharfer Intellekt und zäher Wille bei Schiller; der eine setzt auf Natur, der andere auf Freiheit. Ihre Freundschaft mit allen Konflikten und Spannungen hat beide zu Höchstleistungen angespornt: Schiller schreibt seine klassischen Dramen und bringt sie mit Goethes Hilfe auf die Bühne.

Walter Benjamin (1892 - 1940), war vieles: Philosoph, Kulturkritiker, Übersetzer - aber auch ein Schriftsteller. Auf der Flucht vor den Nazis, die Frankreich besetzt hatten, nahm er sich an der spanischen Grenze das Leben. Sein Essay Goethes Wahlverwandtschaften beweist außerordentlich eindrucksvoll, dass eine an sich wissenschaftliche Analyse großer Literatur selbst große Literatur sein kann!
