Book Description:
The Sorrows of Young Werther is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s groundbreaking novel of unrequited love, emotional turmoil, and Romantic idealism. Told through a series of passionate letters, the novel follows Werther, a sensitive and artistic young man, as he falls deeply in love with Charlotte — a woman already engaged to another.
As Werther’s longing intensifies and reality fails to match his poetic ideals, he descends into despair, unable to reconcile his inner world with the constraints of society. With its intense emotional depth and lyrical prose, The Sorrows of Young Werther became a defining work of the Romantic movement and a cultural phenomenon upon its release — a timeless exploration of love, individuality, and the tragic beauty of the human soul.
