Sorrows of Young Werther

Drawing on his own unhappy experiences, Goethe's account of Werther's passionate love for Lotte, who is promised to another, is one of the first great Romantic tragic novels. David Constantine's new translation captures the novel's lyric intensity, and is accompanied by an introduction and notes that illuminate Goethe's achievement.

Bazandu-se pe propriile sale experiente nefericite, relatarea lui Goethe despre dragostea pasionala a lui Werther pentru Lotte, care este promisa altuia, este unul dintre primele mari romane tragice romantice. Noua traducere a lui David Constantine surprinde intensitatea lirica a romanului si este insotita de o introducere si note care lumineaza realizarea lui Goethe.
