    About this ebook

    Unlock the more straightforward side of The Sorrows of Young Werther with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe, a series of letters from Werther, a young man who moves to an idyllic German village, where he falls in love with sweet-natured Charlotte. Although she is engaged to another man, he cannot subdue his passion, which torments him to the point of madness and despair. Based on Goethe’s own experiences, it is a key work in the Sturm und Drang movement, an important precursor to Romanticism, and was immediately successful, leading to a cult following and even causing young men across Europe to begin dressing like Werther, the main protagonist. It was the makings of Goethe, a celebrated writer of numerous genres and one of the top 50 most translated authors of all time.
