Overview
Publicadas en 1809 y 1797 respectivamente, estas dos obras ensalzan el amor humano por encima de los convencionalismos y relaciones socialmente establecidas.
«La vida vegetal de Goethe en la seguridad de Weimar dio tiempo a la reposada reflexión y a la composición de unas obras expresivas de un pensamiento, de una actitud moral e intelectual cruciales en la historia de nuestra cultura. Presentamos en este volumen dos muestras de esta obra, dignas de figurar —y figuran ya de hecho— en la que el mismo Goethe designó con el nombre de Weltliteratur, es decir, de literatura de interés y de aceptación universales.» De la Introducción de Jaime Vidal Alcover
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Published in 1809 and 1797 respectively, these two works exalt human love above conventions and socially established relationships.
"The vegetal life of Goethe in the safety of Weimar allowed for calm reflection and the creation of works expressive of a thought, a moral and intellectual stance crucial in the history of our culture. In this volume, we present two examples of this work, worthy of featuring—and indeed already featured—in what Goethe himself designated as Weltliteratur, that is, literature of universal interest and acceptance." From the Introduction by Jaime Vidal Alcover.
