🐗 Books By Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

This work by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) was translated into English in 1840 by Sir Charles Eastlake (1793–1865), painter and later keeper of the National Gallery. Goethe's 1810 work was rejected by many contemporary scientists because it appeared to contradict the physical laws laid down by Newton. The quintessential Dichter and Denker, he was a poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre director, and critic. Born in 1749 in Frankfurt am Main, Goethe rose to fame with the drama Götz von Berlichingen and the novel The Sorrows of Young Werther. Werther, the hero of the latter story, even was a role model for many young fczKY.
