Description

Masterpiece of European fantasy, "The Sorrows of New Werther" is the classic Sturm und Drang story of youthful angst and tragedy. Acclaimed translator Stanley Corngold brings new passion and precision to Goethe's timeless novel of obsessive love and madness with this superb new translation. Goethe's themes of unrequited love, the pain of rejection, deep despair, and their tragic consequences are as relevant today as they were when the novel was first published in 1774. The highly influential novel informed the writing of many, including Franz Kafka and Thomas Mann. In the translation of "The Sorrows of New Werther," Corngold closely follows the German text, using words that were current in English at the time the novel was written, while maintaining a modern grace and style. The result is an evocatively anticipated translation that speaks to our time through the stunning vibrancy of Goethe's language—as well as through the translator's own language.
