Os sofrimentos do jovem Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe PT
Description:
As histórias de amor devem muito a Johann Wolfgang Goethe e seu Os sofrimentos do jovem Werther, obra escrita em 1774 e que, desde então, tornou-se uma referência da literatura mundial. Poucos livros tiveram a repercussão imediata que esse clássico conseguiu, certamente pela forma pungente, desabrida e catártica com que o protagonista evocado no título, Werther, figura da alta aristocracia germânica, destrincha o seu amor — na verdade, algo mais próximo à obsessão — que nutre pela bela Charlotte. O livro é narrado numa estrutura epistolar: conhecemos as danações de Werther por meio de cartas q... continue

Suferinţele tânărului Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe RO
Description:
„O, ce fiinta e si omul ca se poate plinge de el insusi! Vreau in aceste clipe, iubite prietene, iti fagaduiesc, vreau sa ma indrept, nu vreau sa mai rumeg putinul rau pe care destinul ni-l harazeste, asa cum am facut pina acum; vreau sa ma bucur de clipa de fata, si tot ce e trecut sa ramina trecut. Desigur, tu ai dreptate, prietene; durerile oamenilor ar fi mai mici daca ei – Dumnezeu stie de ce sint facuti astfel! – nu s-ar ocupa cu un atit de mare zel al inchipuirii de amintirea relelor trecute si ar indura un prezent nepasator.“ (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
