Certainly, you are right, my unbeatable friend: the pains would be less among men if these – God knows why they are made that way – would not occupy themselves with so much zeal in evoking memories of past evils instead of enduring a tolerable present.

Reseña de un libro
Johann Wolfgang Goethe nació en 1749. Estudió en Leipzig, donde se interesó por el ocultismo, y en Estrasburgo, donde Herder le introdujo en las obras de Shakespeare y en la poesía popular. Produjo algunos ensayos y versos líricos, y a los veinticuatro años saltó a la fama como parte del movimiento Sturm und Drang, posición que se consolidó con la publicación de Las penas del joven Werther. Goethe trabajó en Fausto durante toda su vida, mientras viajaba por Italia y regresaba a Weimar, donde dirigió el Teatro Estatal. Murió en 1832.
Book reviews
The main character of the novel, Werther, is a sensitive and passionate young man who falls madly in love with Charlotte, a woman who is engaged to another man. Werther is a handsome man who arouses the interest of many other women, but he is in love with Charlotte, who does not love him, and despite the intense pain of unrequited love, Werther develops an intimate friendship with her. The main scene essentially depicts Goethe’s German translation of a portion of the Ossian cycle of poems which, although originally considered translations of ancient works, were later discovered to have been written by James Macpherson.[citation needed]
Werther is an important novel of the Sturm und Drang movement in German literature. It is one of the few works of this movement that Goethe wrote before, together with Friedrich von Schiller, the Weimar movement began. It also influenced the literature of Romanticism that followed this movement. The book[4] made Goethe one of the first literary celebrities of his time. Towards the end of his life, traveling to Weimar and visiting the master was a ritual.
