Os sofrimentos do jovem Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe PT
GermanyDescription:
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.

UkraineDescription:

Houve quem encontrasse no livro a influência de Virginia Woolf, ao passo que outros apostavam em Joyce, seguindo a falsa pista da epígrafe da qual Clarice pinçou seu título: "Ele estava só. Estava abandonado, feliz, perto do coração selvagem da vida." Ambos os grupos estavam errados, apesar do uso do fluxo de consciência pela escritora estreante a justificar tais correlações. Ocorre, no entanto, que esse h... continue
