Acerca deste libro electrónico

A new translation into modern American English of Goethe's 1771 speech "Zum Schäkespears Tag". This edition contains an Afterword by the Translator, a Timeline of Goethe’s Life & Works and a Glossary of Philosophic Terminology used by Goethe. Here a very young Goethe expresses his deep admiration for the English playwright William Shakespeare. Goethe's essay discusses the profound impact that Shakespeare's works had on him and on literature as a whole. He praises Shakespeare's ability to capture the complexities of human nature and his profound understanding of the human condition. Years before The Sorrows of Young Werther made him famous, we already see the spark of genius in this short speech from his youth.
