Wisdom and Experience

Angebote / Angebote:

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was a German statesman and writer. He produced a wide range of works on many subjects, including four novels, verse and prose drama, poetry, treatises, and literary criticism. His magnum opus, hailed as one of the peaks of world literature, is his two-part drama "Faust". First published in 1901, "Wisdom And Experience" contains a wide range of passages taken from Goethe's prose, including diaries, letters, and oral utterances reported by friends and associates. "Wisdom And Experience" will appeal to those with an interest in the life and mind of Goethe, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: "Religion", "Nature", "Science and Philosophy", "The Social Sphere", "The Moral Sphere", "Art", and "The Body Politic". Other notable works by this author include: "Metamorphosis of Plants" (1790) and "Theory of Colors" (1810). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
