Autoren-Porträt von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) remains one of the towering figures in world literature, having left an indelible mark on the literary, philosophical, and artistic landscape of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. A versatile genius, Goethe's oeuvre encompasses poetry, drama, literature, theology, humanism, and science. Born in Frankfurt, Germany, his early education was extensive, setting the stage for a lifetime of learning and creation. Goethe's magnum opus, 'Faust; a Tragedy' (1808), synthesizes his profound exploration of human nature, morality, and the quest for knowledge. This dramatic work profoundly influenced the Romantic and subsequent movements, characterizing the struggle of the individual against an unfathomable universe. Translations of 'Faust' have made this canonical text accessible worldwide, encapsulating Goethe's rich, lyrical style and his capability to delve into the complexity of human existence. His literary style, marked by a synthesis of realism and romanticism, redefined the scope of German literature and literature at large. Not just a man of letters, Goethe was also deeply involved in studies of natural science and his 'Theory of Colours' challenged none other than Newton's optics. As a statesman, he actively participated in the Weimar Court, which provided a practical counterbalance to his literary pursuits. Today, Goethe's work still resonates, with scholars and readers alike pondering the depths of his insight into the human condition.
