The Sorrows of Young Werther (Aziloth Books)

Goethe's first novel, "The Sorrows of Young Werther," published in 1774, is a diary-style tale of a passionate young man in love with his friend's wife, Charlotte. This semi-autobiographical work challenges conventional literature by exploring themes of despair and suicide, influencing the 'Sturm und Drang' movement and later Romanticism.
