About the Author      Né en 1749 à Francfort, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe deviendra le principal ministre du grand duc Charles-Auguste à Weimar où il demeurera un demi-siècle, au milieu de la gloire universelle que lui valent autant son activité philosophique et littéraire que ses recherches scientifiques. Il a été le plus grand Européen du XVIIIᵉ siècle. Il meurt à Weimar en 1832.Bernard Groethuysen (1880-1946) a été l'élève de Dilthey et de Simmel après avoir poursuivi des études de philosophie à l'université de Berlin. Pendant de longues années, il a fait dans différentes bibliothèques de France ainsi qu'aux archives nationales des recherches au sujet de la Révolution française qui lui ont permis d'étudier la formation de l'esprit bourgeois.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/johann-wolfgang-von-goethe-books\"\u003eJohann Wolfgang von Goethe\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction, Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gallimard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9782070364961\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gallimard","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.40","offer_id":47919341240497,"sku":"SB-2070364968-C3","price":1.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/2070364968_f6665f4c-4704-4035-a33f-19b1101e15b2.jpg?v=1794614888"},{"product_id":"faust-i-ii","title":"Faust I \u0026 II","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/johann-wolfgang-von-goethe-books\"\u003eJohann Wolfgang von Goethe\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drama, European\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diogenes Verlag AG,Switzerland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3257204396\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Diogenes","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £5.02","offer_id":47919538438321,"sku":"SB-3257204396-C4","price":5.02,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/3257204396.jpg?v=1789807459"},{"product_id":"tagebuch-der-italienischen-reise","title":"Tagebuch Der Italienischen Reise","description":"\u003cp\u003eGoethes Aufzeichnungen während seiner Reise von Karlsbad nach Rom (1786), erst hundert Jahre später veröffentlicht, werden in dieser Ausgabe vollständig und in der originalen Orthographie vorgelegt.

Con la necessità inesorabile delle leggi della chimica, il gioco di reciproche attrazioni tra Carlotta e Eduardo da un lato, Ottilia e il Capitano dall'altro, scompagina le vite dei protagonisti. Mentre Carlotta rinuncia al Capitano in nome del vincolo sacro del matrimonio, suo marito Eduardo cede alla pulsione erotica, ricambiato con ardore dall'innocente Ottilia che sublimerà infine nel martirio la purezza dei suoi sentimenti. Nella tormentata relazione tra le due coppie il romanzo mette in scena il conflitto tra natura e istituzioni, tra scelta e destino, tra la norma morale incarnata nel matrimonio e la forza irresistibile e distruttiva della passione amorosa. Squisitamente settecentesco nella struttura, ma impregnato di elementi simbolici e suggestioni mistiche, l'enigmatico capolavoro della maturità di Goethe svela il fondo tragico dell'utopia romantica esaltando la dignità della rinuncia e la nobiltà del sacrificio non meno della ineluttabilità dell'amore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/johann-wolfgang-von-goethe-books\"\u003eJohann Wolfgang von Goethe\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction, Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pocket Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Garzanti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788811361060\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Garzanti","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £3.85","offer_id":47919964356785,"sku":"SB-8811361060-C4","price":3.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/8811361060.jpg?v=1789694123"},{"product_id":"i-dolori-del-giovane-werther","title":"I dolori del giovane Werther","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/johann-wolfgang-von-goethe-books\"\u003eJohann Wolfgang von Goethe\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction, Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8879831356\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Newton","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £10.55","offer_id":47920008233137,"sku":"SB-8879831356-C3","price":10.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/8879831356.jpg?v=1789790676"},{"product_id":"fausto-faust","title":"Fausto \/ Faust","description":"\u003cp\u003eGoethe fue un poeta, novelista, dramaturgo y cientifico aleman que ayudo a fundar el romanticismo, movimiento al que influencio profundamente.

Die Hauptquelle für Goethe war die 1731 erschienene Autobiographie des Reichsritters Götz (Gottfried) von Berlichingen (1480-1562). Als Historiendrama spiegelt der 'Götz' die Zersplitterung des Deutschen Reiches zu Beginn der Neuzeit wider und verknüpft das private und das öffentliche Schicksal des Protagonisten. Die Wirkung von Goethes Schauspiel beruhte auf der erstmals im Sturm und Drang auftretenden radikalen Aufhebung der klassischen Einheit von Ort, Zeit und Handlung - ständig wechseln im 'Götz von Berlichingen' wechseln die Schauplätze der mehr als fünfzig Einzelszenen. Markant ist auch die Charakterisierung der Repräsentanten verschiedener Schichten und Institutionen und Schichten durch einen jeweils unterschiedlichen sprachlichen Ausdruck.
