Download or read book Goethe Dies written by Thomas Bernhard and published by German List. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of four stories by the writer George Steiner called "one of the masters of European fiction" is, as longtime fans of Thomas Bernhard would expect, bleakly comic and inspiringly rancorous. The subject of his stories vary: in one, Goethe summons Wittgenstein to discuss the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus; "Montaigne: A Story (in 22 Installments)" tells of a young man sealing himself in a tower to read; "Reunion," meanwhile, satirizes that very impulse to escape; and the final story rounds out the collection by making Bernhard himself a victim, persecuted by his greatest enemy--his very homeland of Austria. Underpinning all these variously comic, tragic, and bitingly satirical excursions is Bernhard's abiding interest in, and deep knowledge of, the philosophy of doubt. Bernhard's work can seem off-putting on first acquaintance, as he suffers no fools and offers no hand to assist the unwary reader. But those who make the effort to engage with Bernhard on his own uncompromising terms will discover a writer with powerful comic gifts, penetrating insight into the failings and delusions of modern life, and an unstinting desire to tell the whole, unvarnished, unwelcome truth. Start here, readers; the rewards are great.
Download or read book Goethe written by Derek Van Abbe and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1972, Goethe presents a biography looking at one of the few great Europeans to be universally recognized as a hero of culture, and in the light of modern sociological thought puts the hero into his background, human, social and political. Goethe is seen in the context of his times- not as the Great Poet or the Great Lover but as the worried contemporary of the French Revolution and Napoleon. The author is much more interested than most biographers in the mature Goethe and the problems of the poet’s old age. This stems from his intense preoccupation with Goethe’s friend and biographer Eckermann, whose Conversations (for which Eckermann is ranked by many with Boswell) he is re-editing. This is an interesting read for scholars of German language & literature and European literature.
Download or read book Goethe written by A. N. Wilson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-26 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A. N. Wilson's biography of the German polymath is wild, brilliant and has all the intelligence to rival its subject' - Frances Wilson, the Telegraph 'Rich and full and passionate and intelligent and deeply needed for these murky times' – Ben Okri 'Exuberant and wide-ranging' - Miranda Seymour, author of The Haunted Life of Jean Rhys A spellbinding recreation of Goethe's life and work from one of our greatest biographers. Goethe was the inventor of the psychological novel, a pioneer scientist, great man of the theatre and a leading politician. As A. N. Wilson argues in this groundbreaking biography, it was his genius and insatiable curiosity that helped catapult the Western world into the modern era. A N. Wilson tackles the life of Goethe with characteristic wit and verve. From his youth as a wild literary prodigy to his later years as Germany's most respected elder statesman, Wilson hones in on Goethe's undying obsession with the work he would spend his entire life writing – Faust. Goethe spent over 60 years writing his retelling of Faust, a strange and powerful work that absorbed all the philosophical questions of his time as well as the revolutions and empires that came and went. It is his greatest work, but as Wilson explores, it is also something much more - it is the myth of how we came to be modern.

Book Synopsis Goethe's Concept of the Daemonic by : Angus James Nicholls
Download or read book Goethe's Concept of the Daemonic written by Angus James Nicholls and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2006 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to examine Goethe's writings on the daemonic in relation to both Classical philosophy and German Idealism. For Plato, the daemonic is a sensibility that brings individuals into contact with divine knowledge; Socrates was also inspired by a "divine voice" known as his "daimonion." Goethe was introduced to this ancient concept by Hamannand Herder, who associated it with the aesthetic category of genius. This book shows how the young Goethe depicted the idea of daemonic genius in works of the Storm and Stress period, before exploring the daemonic in a series of later poetic and autobiographical works. Reading Goethe's works on the daemonic through theorists such as Lukács, Benjamin, Gadamer, Adorno, and Blumenberg, Nicholls contends that they contain arguments concerning reason, nature, and subjectivity that are central to both European Romanticism and the Enlightenment. Angus Nicholls is Claussen-Simon Foundation Research Lecturer in German and Comparative Literature at the Centre for Anglo-German Cultural Relations in the Department of German, Queen Mary, University of London.

Download or read book Relevance of Lessing's "Emilia Galotti" for Goethe's "Die Leiden des jungen Werther" and the state of mind of Storm and Stress writers written by Julia Straub and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Literature - Comparative Literature, grade: 1,3, Cardiff University, course: German literature, language: English, abstract: “He had drunk only one glass of the wine. Emilia Galotti lay open on his desk” (Goethe 2004). When Werther commits suicide at the end of Goethe’s novel Die Leiden des jungen Werther, Lessing’s play Emilia Galotti lies next to him on his desk. The fact that it is opened, lets the reader assume that Werther had read the book, perhaps just moments before his suicide. It makes it seem of importance to Werther and it might have been relevant for his decision to commit suicide. But that is just one assumption which can be made. For the reader, it is interesting to know what Goethe wanted to tell us by including Lessing’s work in his novel. It does not seem much of a coincidence that Lessing’s work appears at the most important scene of the novel. This leads to the question this essay is concerned with. What is the relevance of Lessing’s play for Goethe’s novel? Did Lessing’s play influence Goethe or is he actually criticizing Lessing by including the play in his novel? And going even further: What is the relevance of the play for the state of mind of Storm and Stress writers/artists in general? There are several possible assumptions to those two questions so some of them will be presented and analysed in this essay although not all of them can be covered.
Book Synopsis Byron, Shelley and Goethe's Faust by : Ben Hewitt
Download or read book Byron, Shelley and Goethe's Faust written by Ben Hewitt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first part of Goethe's dramatic poem Faust (1808), one of the great works of German literature, grabbed the attention of Byron and Percy Shelley in the 1810s, engaging them in a shared fascination that was to exert an important influence over their writings. In this comparative study, Ben Hewitt explores the links between Faust and Byron's and Shelley's works, connecting Goethe and the two English Romantic poets in terms of their differing, intricately related experiments with epic. In so doing, Hewitt enters the three writers into a literary and philosophical dialogue concerning 'epic' and 'tragic' perspectives on human knowledge and potential - perspectives crucial to the very structure and significance of Goethe's masterpiece - and illuminates hitherto unacknowledged affinities between these key figures in Romantic literature, and between British and German Romanticisms.
