About the author

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) stands as a towering figure in world literature, his works transcending boundaries of genre, style, and national literary history. His literary creations range from poetry, drama, and prose, to works on science and philosophy. He is best known for his two-part poetic drama 'Faust', which has been hailed as one of the greatest masterpieces of Western literature. Goethe's works reflect his prodigious intellect and profound understanding of human nature, resulting in a profound influence on the Romantic literary movement. His writings include 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', a novel that won him early fame, 'Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship', a Bildungsroman that explored the development of the protagonist's mind and spirit, and 'Elective Affinities', an exploration of the psychology of love and marriage. He contributed to various fields, with his 'Theory of Colours' contending against Newton's optics. Goethe's voluminous oeuvre is encapsulated in the Harvard Classics, a revered 71-volume anthology encompassing a wide spectrum of his work. His literary style is characterized by its clarity, lyrical beauty, and intellectual depth, his works remaining perennially relevant and celebrated for their artistic and philosophical insights.
