About the author

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, one of the most towering figures in German literature, was born on August 28, 1749, in Frankfurt am Main. Goethe was a polymath who contributed significantly to various fields such as literature, science, and philosophy. He was a key figure of German classicism and his works are celebrated for their breadth and depth. A prolific writer, his collection 'GOETHE Ultimate Collection: 200+ Titles in One Edition' reflects his literary genius that encompasses epic and lyric poetry, prose, and drama; notably, it still inspires different areas of human thought and art. He is best known for 'Faust', a two-part dramatic work that explores the struggles of man and has become synonymous with the term 'Faustian' as relating to an insatiable quest for knowledge and power at great personal cost. His novel 'The Sorrows of Young Werther' became a sensation in the Sturm und Drang period and contributed to the burgeoning Romantic movement by foregrounding the individual's emotional life. Goethe's works are complex, with a style that interweaves rich imagery, intellectual depth, and psychological insight. His ability to encapsulate the human condition in his writing has ensured his enduring legacy. He passed away on March 22, 1832, in Weimar, leaving behind a body of work that continues to be studied, celebrated, and revered in the canons of world literature.
