New York. 1971. Penguin Books. Reprinted Penguin Classic Paperback Edition. Some Bumping & Tearing To Top & Bottom Of SpineOtherwise Good in Wrappers. ISBN:0140442421. Translated from the German & With An Introduction by R. J. Hollingdale. 300 pages. paperback. The cover shows a detail from 'Meadows near Greifswald' by Caspar David Friedrich in the Kunsthalle Hamburg. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Goethe had lived with Christiane Vulpius for eighteen years before he married her in 1806. Less than two years later he fell in love with a young girl. ELECTIVE AFFINITIES reflects the conflict which Goethe felt between his high regard for the idea of marriage and his experience of spontaneous passion. Set in the German countryside of the early nineteenth century the novel depicts the emotional turmoil into which Eduard and Charlotte are thrown by the introduction into their comfortably idle lives of two fresh faces. The novel � whose strange title stems from a current scientific theory � was widely assumed to argue for the chemical origin of love and thus condemned as immoral when it was first published. Written in the form of the classic German Novelle this darkly symbolic tale conveys the conflicting loyalties of Goethe�s heart as well as being an ironic portrait of the landed nobility. inventory #29051 ISBN: 0140442421. paperback

ISBN:0394470249. Translated from the German by Elizabeth Meyer & Louise Bogan. Foreword by W. H. Auden. 203 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Irving Bogen. FROM THE PUBLISHER - �Werther still fascinates us. To us it reads not as a tragic love story but as a masterly and devastating portrait of a complete egoist a spoiled brat incapable of love because he cares for nobody and nothing but himself and having his way at whatever cost to others. NOVELLA published in 1828 four years before Goethe�s death is an excellent example of a literary genre the idyll at which German writers more than those of any other language group have always excelled.� - from the Foreword by W. H. Auden. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born in Frankfurt am Main Germany. His father was a man of means and position who personally supervised the early education of his son. The young Goethe studied at the universities of Leipzig and Strasbourg and in 1772 entered upon the practice of law at Wetzlar. At the invitation of Karl August Duke of Saxe-Weimar he went in 1775 to live in Weimar where he held a succession of political offices becoming the Duke�s chief adviser. From 1786 to 1788 he travelled in Italy and directed the ducal theatre at Weimar. He took part in the Napoleonic wars against France and in the following began a friendship with Friedrich Schiller which lasted until the latter�s death in 1805. In 1806 he married Christiane Vulpius. As of 1820 he was on friendly terms with Kaspar Maria von Sternberg. From about 1794 he devoted himself chiefly to literature and after a life of extraordinary productivity died in Weimar. LOUISE BOGAN the distinguished American lyric poet was awarded almost every major poetry award including the Bollingen Prize She translated The Journal of Jules Renard and was co-translator with Elizabeth Mayer of Goethe�s ELECTIVE AFFINITIES. ELIZABETH MAYER has collaborated with W. H. Auden and Marianne Moore Her translations include Goethe�s ITALIAN JOURNEY Adalbert Stiftler�s ROCK CRYSTAL and works by Sybil Bedford and others into German. inventory #35694 ISBN: 0394470249. hardcover

Edited by David E. Wellbery. 296 pages. paperback. Cover art by Gary Young. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Containing three of Goethe�s major prose works this volume explores a range of themes: unfulfilled love infidelity divorce tragic love fantasy and moral rebirth. One of Goethe�s best known works The Sorrows of Young Werther explores the extremes of the subjective experience through the novel�s depiction of a sensitive young man caught up in a love impossible to fulfill. In Elective Affinities a novel of tragic love Goethe employs all the requisites of sentimental romance to give a deeply ironic perspective to the idea of love. As the title indicates Novella examines the possibilities inherent in this genre.CONTENTS - Prefatory Note; The Sorrows of Young Werther translated by Victor Lange; Elective Affinities translated by Judith Ryan; Novella translated by Victor Lange; Notes; Afterword. inventory #34933 ISBN: 0691043469. paperback

New York. 1962. August 1962. Signet/New American Library. 1st Signet Classic Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. Newly Translated From The German By Catherine Hutter.Foreword By Hermann J. Weigand. 256 pages. paperback. CP140. Cover: Percy. FROM THE PUBLISHER - This book is a unique collection comprising those works of Goethe which stress his positive attitude toward love and death. In these tales and memoirs of fated courtships and redemption through death the great classicist avoids the melodramatic and macabre infusing his writing with clairvoyant wisdom and 'the laughter of the gods.' His heroes and heroines confronted by irreparable loss stand strong in their will to live and reflect the wellsprings of universal order. A revolutionary in an epoch of sentiment Goethe was the prime force of the Romantic Movement throughout Europe. Emerson acclaimed him as the world's 'greatest writer.' Thomas Mann whose own LOTTE IN WEIMAR recasts a central situation from THE SORROWS OF YOUNG WERTHER Writes of this novel: 'As for Werther all the richness of Goethe's gift was apparent. The extreme nerve - shattering sensitivity of the little book. evoked a storm of applause which went beyond all bounds and fairly intoxicated the world.�. inventory #31034 paperback

XIV 15-87 1 blank pp.First edition in French of an important botanical study by Germany's greatest poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749-1832 into the origins and processes of life. His scientific career had actually started at the court of Weimar where he was summoned in 1775 and where his duties soon included the supervision of mining in the duchy. His main goal was finding a theory to explain all living forms plants and animals. The Urpflanze as an Urform of nature would show - according to Goethe - the diversity of types which had evolved and would help chart the processes of life. His ideas on plant form had a considerable influence on European botany and some people even considered them a precursor of Darwinism. The present work is a fascinating exercise in probing the "mind of nature" via a study of its phenomena in this case plant life. As such it is thoroughly representative of the school of Nature Philosophy. It first appeared in German in 1790 and Frédéric de Cingins-Lassaraz translated it into French for the present edition.Very good untrimmed copy slightly foxed and somewhat dog-eared small tear in front wrapper.
