Die Leiden des jungen Werther
by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Die Leiden des jungen Werthers (The Sorrows of Young Werther) is a novel consisting for the most part of letters (briefroman or epistolary novel) written by a hopelessly romantic young man named Werther to his friend Wilhelm. These letters detail Werther's doomed love for the beautiful Charlotte, and include profound and beautiful meditations on love, beauty, nature, philosophy, art, and religion. Die Leiden des jungen Werthers was an important novel (one of the finest examples) of the Sturm und Drang (1760s to 1780s) period in German literature, and influenced the later Romantic literary movement. Goethe achieved almost instantaneous celebrity status with the novel.
About The Bilingual Edition
Project Bilingual (A division of Wolf Pup Books) is a continuing project making available great original German writers' texts along with their English translation. This edition, which offers after every original language paragraph its translation, makes both grammar and vocabulary checks as painless as possible. Idiomatic forms that could be overlooked can be easily detected.
Furthermore, large paragraphs have been broken down to much smaller units so that the check is as effortless as possible. We do hope that by reading German writers that defined the language itself or whose work permeated the German culture, you will be able to get the maximum benefit from this language series. Although this edition is not a replacement for traditional methods of learning language, it is a very powerful tool to speed up the process once you have attained the intermediate level and beyond.
