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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe: The Man and His Character Goethe still treads the stage of the world in the character of Faust, but the true story of his life is far more attractive than the melodramatic mutila tion of his great tragedy which is annually presented in the theatres of every land. We have from his own hand a minute and masterly description of the boyhood of a genius; we behold, in his narrative and his impulsive letters, the exquisitely sensitive youth awakening in a world which is a hundred years too old for him, and, while conscious of a mighty task, wavering time after time between the valleys of love and the hills of learning; we find his developed nature so many-sided that he attracts into his life nearly every person of consequence in his age, and reflects in his art every spasm of its travail for the birth of the new world; and even in his later years we see his genius linked, in rare association, with a passion that holds him to the common rank of men. The greatest literary artist since Shakespeare, and no inconspicuous figure in the scientific culture of the new world, he is, never theless, so profoundly human that almost every chapter in his career is a romantic love-story.

Download or read book Life of J W Von Goethe Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by George Henry Lewes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of J. W. Von Goethe, Vol. 1 of 2 With respect to the use I have made of the materials at hand, especially of Goethe's Autobiography, I can but repeat what was said in the preface to the first edition; the Dichtung und Wahrheit not only wants the egotistic garrulity and detail which give such con fessions their value, but presents great difficulties to a biographer. The main reason of this is the abiding inaccuracy of tone, which, far more misleading than the many inaccuracies of fact, gives to the whole youthful period, as narrated by him, an aspect so directly contrary to what is given by contemporary evidence, especially his own letters, that an attempt to reconcile the contradiction is futile. If any one doubts this and persists in his doubts after reading the early chapters of this work, let him take up Goethe's letters to the Countess von Stolberg, or the recently published letters to Kestner and Charlotte, and compare their tone with the tone of the Auto biography, wherein the old man depicts the youth as the old man saw him, not as the youth felt and lived. The picture of youthful follies and youthful passions comes softened through the distant avenue of years. Th. Turbulence of a youth of genius is not indeed quite forgotten, but it is hinted with stately reserve. Jupiter, serenely throned upon Olympus, forgets that hv was once a robe] with the Titans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe's Dichtung Und Wahrheit: The First 4 Books From whatever point Of view Div/dung zmd Walzrlm't may be considered, there seems full reason to assign to the work a foremost rank among the prose writings of Goethe. It com bines, in fact, all the advantages which the various stages of life are capable of imparting to an author's writings. Goethe began to pen his Autobiography when he was on the threshold of old age, and consequently it bears throughout the stamp of maturity and judicial calm. It is, besides, distinguished by a spirit of manliness and dignity which is a distinctive character istic Of the narrative, alike in its serious and in its playful topics; while the brightness of youth is reflected in many a passage Of tender feeling and genial affection. And it is this blending together of the various elements of sober age, of life's earnest prime and of stormy youth, which lends a peculiar charm to Goethe's Autobiography.

This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe's Letters to Leipzig Friends As the twig is bent the tree's inclined, is an aphorism no less trite than true in its usual applica tion to the human subject; hence we study with the deepest interest all those circumstances in the early youth of a man distinguished later as a genius, which may possibly have directed the current of his thoughts and actions into a channel destined to swell into a mighty torrent, bearing all before it by its innate strength of character. Amongst the great minds which have arisen in modern times few have been productive of more powerful effect on their age than the prince of German writers, Goethe, who, by the force of his intellect and the breadth of his Views, initiated a new era in the literature of his own land, and at the same time operated with considerable effect upon reflecting minds in other countries. It is beyond my province to refer more particularly to the mode in' which the influence he thus - exercised made itself felt the fact is sufficiently attested by the crowd of authors who have striven to follow where he so nobly led.

This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Criticisms, Reflections, and Maxims of Goethe Johann wolfgang von goethe was born on the a8th August 1749, at frankfort-ou-the-main. His family lived in comfortable circumstances, and from Michaelmas 1765 till the autumn of 1768 young Goethe studied jurisprudence at Leipzig. In the spring of 1770 he went to Strasburg, where he graduated in the following year. In August 1771 he was sworn in as a lawyer in his native town. The summer of 1772 was spent at Wetzlar, and the three years following at home. About this time he formed several noteworthy acquaintances, with Klinger, Merck, Jacobi, Lavater, and others. His Ge'fz (177 3) and Warmer (1774) earned for him among his nation the fame of a writer of the highest rank. This led to an invitation from the Duke Karl August of Weimar, in October 1775, to Goethe to take up his residence in that town; he arrived there in the following month, and in 1776 decided to make it his permanent abode. Before long he was united to the Duke in the closest of friendships, and was appointed member of the Council, with a seat and a vote, in June 1776, and Privy Councillor in 1779. A few years later he was also entrusted with the control of the ducal exchequer, and in 1782 he was raised by the 'emperor to the nobility. The period between.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe's Life-Poem: As Set Forth in His Life and Works Thus the poet speaks of his new birth as he views himself rounding the chief turn or node of his total evolution. Many other declarations made in his later days could be gathered, showing the sovereign importance with which he regarded his Italian Journey. The significance of these statements of his for us is that he emphatically periodized his own life in order to measure it aright and thus to comprehend it fully. The Pre-Italian time was to his mind one great Period which he had gone through and brought to a definite close by his sudden flight to Italy. What he did for himself with such persistance, we still propose to do for him in this account of his career. In fact the biographer of Goethe can easily obtain full instructions from Goethe himself for meting and hounding the great arcs of his life's cycle which we call Periods. His own stages and their landing-places he well recognized, for he was verily the careful self-scrutinizer in reviewing his own life-work. Really, he was the most self-examining of poets in spite of many a fling at thinking about thought, which he sometimes deemed his disease.

Book excerpt: The Sorrows of Young Werther: Large print by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe A loosely autobiographical novel, this was Goethe's first major success, turning him from an unknown into a celebrated author practically overnight. The majority of the story is a collection of letters written by Werther, a young artist with a very sensitive and passionate temperament, sent to his friend Wilhelm. In these letters Werther gives a very intimate account of his stay in the fictive village Wahlheim, where he meets and falls in love with Charlotte, who is, however, already engaged to an older man named Albert. Despite the pain this causes Werther, he spends the next several months cultivating a close friendship with both of them We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of My Youth This it is which has given birth to the six chapters which make up the present volume. The recollections of my childhood do not pretend to form a complete and continuous narrative. They are merely the images which arose before me and the reflections which suggested themselves to me while I was calling up a past fifty years old, written down in the order in which they came. Goethe selected as the title for his memoirs Truth and Poetry, thereby signifying that a man cannot write his own biography in the same way that he would that of any one else. What one says of oneself is always poetical. To fancy that the small details of one's own life are worth recording is to be guilty of very petty vanity. A man writes such things in order to transmit to others the theory of the universe which he carries within himself. The form of the present w'ork seemed to me a convenient one for expressing certain shades of thought which my previous writings did not convey. I had no desire to furnish information about myself for the future use of those who might wish to write essays or articles about me.
