Os sofrimentos do jovem Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe PT

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.

O livro é narrado numa estrutura epistolar: conhecemos as danações de Werther por meio de cartas q... continue

Perfume : The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind EN
Description:
'Born in sweaty, fetid eighteenth-century Paris, Genouille is distinctive even in infancy. He has "the finest nose in Paris and no personal odour".

Clever, stylish, absorbing and well worth reading' Literary Review
