Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wisdom of Goethe It was my desire in putting this little work before the public to leave the great poet to state his own case, and to make that impression on the unbiassed reader which words of true wisdom flowing into the soul, like healthy breezes into free lungs, natu rally make. But I soon became aware that, in the case of Goethe, few unbiassed readers were likely to be found on this Side of the Channel; and I could not conceal from myself the fact that the good impression to be made by the Wise words of the preacher might be seriously neutralised by the bad impression they entertained of his character. If it has been the good fortune of some great men to have had their virtues brought forward into the foreground, studiously dressed out and magnified, while their vices are cast into the shade and for.

This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethes Hermann Und Dorothea There are several annotated editions of Hermann und Dorothea available for the American student, and yet I am glad to add this new one to a most creditable list of predecessors. Its Vocabulary is designedly complete, that the book may be used by those who have not proceeded far With the study of the German classics. For like reason the Notes are intended to explain passages and construe tions familiar to those Who have dealt for some time With the syntactical difficulties of more advanced Ger man prose and poetry. The Repetitional Exercises (fragen) based upon the text Will be found helpful, if they are used as suggested below (page v). They will certainly afford the teacher opportunity to give his class some much-needed drill in the ready use of the idiom which it is attempting to master, and Will assist the student in appreciating the beauty and structure of the text as nothing else could. No bibliography has been attempted, other than to mention a few readily accessible books, for long lists of titles in an edition of this nature have ever seemed to me absurd.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Johann Wolfgang Goethe His short biography of Goethe is intended to deal rather with the author's life than with his works. As, however, the works of Goethe are perhaps more intimately bound up with his life than is the case with any other of the world's greatest writers, being, as he himself declared, fragments of a great confession, his writings, and especially the more directly auto biographical among them, form one of our chief sources of information concerning his life, and of elucidation of the motives that govern it. The length of the different sections is not regulated by the number of years comprised, but is deter mined rather by the degree of external movement and interest of the several periods.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Goethe When we come to know the real facts, we see that the Auto biography does not so much misstate as understate we, who can read between the lines, perceive that it errs more from want of sharpness of relief and precision of detail than from positive misrepresentation. Controlled by contemporary evi dence, it furnishes one great source for the story of the early years; and I greatly regret there is not more contemporary evidence to furnish more details.

And the affectionate, imaginative disposition of the other. His native capacity, and his early training, made him a precocious boy, while his life in Frankfort and his inter course with men of note, developed all his powers and increased his acquisitions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe's Poems IN the preparation of this selection of the poems of Goethe, arranged in chronological order, my desire has been to furnish a commentary which should give the necessary explanations of words and phrases and also the history of the origin of each poem, so far as this is known. Nothing more has been attempted. N o excursion has been made into the fields of aesthetics, and there is no discussion of any of the fascinating problems which arise in the study of the great master; but even within its narrow limits the book must assuredly be very imper fect. The text is that of the Weimar edition. There are no intentional changes in the wording. In the matter of spelling and of the use of capital letters the Prussian rules have however been followed, and the punctuation has here and there been altered slightly, commonly by the more frequent employment of the comma.

Look you, all had been calculated to a nicety the time the bishop would come from the bath, with how many attendants, and which road; and had it not been betrayed by some traitor, Goetz would have blessed his bath for him, and rubbed him dry.

Download or read book Goethe and the Twentieth Century Classic Reprint written by John George Robertson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe and the Twentieth Century Goethe is one of those chameleon-like personalities that change in value and meaning from generation to generation. Homer, Dante, Shakespeare have been given, once and for all, their place in the world's literature, and what we think about them to-day is not materially different from what our forefathers thought; but then those poets are, in comparison, infinitely far away from us; Goethe still stands too near. We must revise our opinion of him from time to time: keep, as it were, a check. on the pulse of our intellectual attitude to him. And this revision of judgment is something which we must do for ourselves. Germany, for the past five and twenty years at least, has been assiduously remoulding her literary opinions, and has progressed very far indeed from the old Hegelian self satisfaction with which she established the hierarchy of her classical poets about the middle of the past century. But we obviously cannot rely on Germany for our opinions of Goethe, any more than Germany can turn to us to find what she has to think about English poets.

Download or read book Life of Goethe Classic Reprint written by Heinrich Düntzer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 844 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Goethe Goethe, who desire precision and fulness of detail, who want a book to refer to and find in. No student of Goethe, writes Professor Dowden,1 can afford to neglect Diintzer; no fair-minded person can view the book with any feelings but those of respect and gratitude. Here is a map provided with the aid of which we can go over the ground for ourselves and possess a sense of security - a map which enables us at any point of the perplexing expedition to find our bearings, if we only have a little patience, and to ascertain precisely what lies before us and what be hind. In other words, Professor Duntzer has written for those who mean to take Goethe gravely, and in their judgment he will find his reward. And perhaps many not disposed to take Goethe gravely hitherto, will find their hearts changed towards him when they read how well he lived - not the life of a god in Olympus, as is often absurdly said, but the common place life of daily duty, - how good he was to his friends, how diligent in a round of tiresome labours alien to his nature, how compassionate to the suffering and the poor, how free from bitterness towards the foes without, how implacable towards the baffling foes within.

Download or read book Goethe and Beethoven Classic Reprint written by Romain Rolland and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe and Beethoven Creator has given those who read it, a deep insight into the composer's greatness. Not so with Goethe. To understand and appreciate him is reserved to the comparatively small community which has a perfect knowledge of German, for no translation can do him justice. And those who do not know any of his works lack the interest which would prompt them to enquire into the great poet's life, thought, work, and influence. Yet Goethe, the Olympian, as he is often called, was one of the greatest figures in literature which the world has known. He ranks with Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Shakespeare. Like these he belongs to the world rather than to a particular nation or race. He is, in literature, what Michelangelo and Raphael in the realm of art, a sovereign master.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Youth of Goethe It was said of Goethe in his latest years that the world would come to believe that there had been, not one, but many Goethes and, as we follow him through the various stages of his youth, we receive the same impression. It results from this manifold ness of his nature that he defies every attempt to formulate his characteristics at any period of his life. In the present study of him the object has been to let his own words and actions speak for themselves any conclusions that may be suggested, the reader will thus have it in his own power to check.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Goethe's Life It has been represented to me, by my friend the publisher, that there are many readers who may feel considerable interest in the story of a great poet's life and aims, though they are not greatly attracted by criticisms and details in relation to works written in a foreign language and but partially accessible through translations. In compliance with the suggestion, I have detached from my Life of Goethe a continuous narrative, which will present the outward events of an ever-memorable career, and indicate the leading characteristics of an immortal genius. The present volume is in no sense intended to replace the original Biography, which will probably continue to have the greater interest for readers whose tastes and acquirements lie in the direction of German literature.
