Om denne e-bog

"West-Eastern Divan is a remarkable fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, showcasing Goethe's profound understanding of diverse traditions and his commitment to fostering intercultural dialogue." - Ralph Waldo Emerson "Goethe's West-Eastern Divan has the most beautiful charm of spiritual freedom and poetry." Hegel, Lectures on Aesthetics A new translation into modern American English of Goethe's 1819 "West-östlicher Divan". This edition contains an Afterword by the Translator, a Timeline of Goethe’s Life & Works and a Glossary of Philosophic Terminology used by Goethe. "West-Eastern Divan" is a collection of poetry written by Goethe, inspired by the rich literary traditions of the Middle East. The collection explores themes of love, mysticism, and the universal human experience through the lens of Persian and Arabian poetry. Goethe's intention with this work was to bridge the cultural divide between the East and the West and promote mutual understanding and appreciation. The poems are characterized by their lyrical beauty, profound wisdom, and their ability to transcend cultural boundaries. "West-Eastern Divan" reflects Goethe's deep respect for Eastern cultures and his belief in the power of literature to foster empathy and connect people from different backgrounds. Ralph Waldo Emerson's recognition of the collection highlights its significance as a testament to Goethe's commitment to intercultural dialogue and his contribution to the literary exchange between East and West.
