About This Book
Generally considered Germany's greatest literary figure, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) produced a large body of fine literary work that includes novels, plays, stories, scientific treatises, travel accounts, and much other prose. Perhaps at his greatest as a poet, he was the author of numerous exceptionally fine lyric poems, ballads, and elegies.
This convenient dual-language edition, spanning a wide range of styles, forms, and moods, allows readers to savor a rich selection of the poet's verse in the original German — from `An den Sclaf` (`To Sleep`), written when he was 18, to his last great poem, `Vermächtnis` (`Legacy`), written when he was 80. Several poems from the 1819 volume West-östlicher Divan (Occidental-Oriental Divan) are presented. Excellent line-for-line English translations on facing pages accompany such masterworks as `Prometheus,` typical of the Sturm and Drang (storm and stress) period; `Rastlose Liebe` (`Restless Love`) and `An den Mond` (`To the Moon`), lyric pieces of intense beauty; and the narrative ballads `Der Fischer` (`The Fisherman`) and `Erlkönig` (`Elf King`). Included among the 96 other works are these poems: `Auf dem See` (`On the Lake`); `Zigeunerlied` (`Gypsy Song`); `Jägers Abendlied` (`Huntsman's Evening Song`); `Grenzen der Menschheit` (`Limitations of Humanity`); `Der Zauberiehrling` (`The Sorcerer's Apprentice`); and `An Werther` (`To Werther`).
For this edition, translator Stanley Appelbaum has provided an informative introduction and a commentary on each poem, which will prove invaluable to students, teachers, and general readers.
