«Los sufrimientos del joven Werther» is the epistolary novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published by Debolsillo in hardcover (168 pages, in Spanish).
Werther, a sensitive young artist, writes to his friend Wilhelm from a small town, where he meets a young engaged woman and falls in love with her. His letters reflect his exaltation before nature, his impossible passion, and a growing despair that clashes with society's incomprehension.
This edition belongs to the Debolsillo Classics collection; the German original, «Die Leiden des jungen Werthers», was published in 1774. It includes a translation by José María Valverde and a prologue by Gustavo Martín Garzo.
For students and readers interested in Romanticism and epistolary narrative.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a German polymath who is widely regarded as the most influential writer in the German language. His work has had a wide-ranging influence on literary, political, Christian views, and philosophical thought in the Western world from the late 18th century to the present. A poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre-director, and critic, Goethe wrote a wide range of works, including plays, poetry and aesthetic criticism, as well as treatises on botany, anatomy, and colour.
