The Sorrows of Young Werther - von Goethe Johann Wolfgang

'The Sorrows of Young Werther' is the brooding tale of a young man in love with a woman who cannot, or will not, love him back. To this day, this is probably Goethe's best known work.  Originally written in German, this edition was translated into the English by Bayard Taylor, and updated for contemporary readers by Benjamin Strycker.
