Autor

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a German polymath, widely regarded as the greatest and most influential writer in the German language. Born on August 28, 1749, in Frankfurt, Germany, he made significant contributions to literature, philosophy, science, and art, shaping the intellectual and cultural landscape. Goethe's literary work has had a profound and lasting impact on Western thought, influencing both political and philosophical ideologies. His most famous works include Faust, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and Erlkönig, poems that explore deep existential and moral themes. Goethe's writings reflect his broad intellectual interests, ranging from natural science to aesthetics, and his influence can be seen in the works of many prominent thinkers, including Friedrich Schiller and William Shakespeare. His exploration of human emotion, destiny, and the tension between reason and passion made him a key figure in the development of Romanticism and modern European literature. Goethe was also deeply involved in politics and culture in his later years, serving as a statesman in Weimar. He died on March 22, 1832, at the age of 82 in Weimar, Germany. Throughout his life, Goethe's work remained a central pillar of German literature, with enduring relevance to this day.
