The Sorrows of Young Werther and Selected Writings (Signet Classics)

The Sorrows of Young Werther brings to life an idyllic German village where a youth on vacation meets and falls for lovely Charlotte. The tragedy unfolds in the letters Werther writes to his friend about Charlotteâ‚¬s charms, even after he realizes his love will remain unrequited. â‚¬Å“Reflections on Wertherâ‚¬Â and â‚¬Å“Goethe in Sesenheim,â‚¬Â collections of excerpts from the authorâ‚¬s own memoirs, reveal the genius who, as Nietzsche said, â‚¬Å“disciplined himself into wholeness.â‚¬Â Next is â‚¬Å“The New Melusina,â‚¬Âthe delightful story of a pixie princess who assumes the form of a woman as she searches for a human mate. Finally, â‚¬Å“The Fairy Taleâ‚¬Â is a sophisticated but strange story in which the laws of nature and physics do not applyâ‚¬"mingled among its human characters is a cast of two sentient will-oâ‚¬-the-wisps, a giant and his shadow, a talking green serpent, and four metal statues.
