The Sorrows of Young Werther

A classic by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Young Werther has just left home when he meets Lotte and falls hopelessly in love with her. But Lotte is already engaged to Albert and will soon marry him. Werther rides an emotional rollercoaster between hope, longing, and despair. His unrequited love and the constraints of bourgeois society - from which he always feels excluded - grow increasingly unbearable. Werther contemplates suicide.

More than 250 years after Goethe's epistolary novel first appeared, Werther's tragic fate remains as gripping, timeless, and emotionally affecting as ever.
