About the author

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

1749–1832

A giant of German literature, this poet, novelist, and playwright helped shape European culture through works that still feel vivid today. Best known for Faust and The Sorrows of Young Werther, he also brought a scientist’s curiosity and a statesman’s experience to his writing.
