A passionate young artist falls disastrously in love with a woman he can never truly have. What begins as longing soon becomes obsession, drawing him deeper into a world where beauty, desire, and despair are impossible to separate.
Set against the restless intensity of youth, The Sorrows of Young Werther is a timeless portrait of emotional excess — the kind of love that feels larger than life and more dangerous because of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) was a German novelist, poet, playwright, and philosopher widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in European literature. His works helped define the Romantic movement, and The Sorrows of Young Werther made him an international literary sensation while he was still in his twenties.

Johann Wolfgang von Gothe (1749-1832) född i Weimar, Tyskland, ses allmänt som en av tidernas största författare och tänkare.
Sin första roman, Den unge Werthers lidanden skrev han 1774, men han gav ut den anonymt.
Goethe var romantikens främste förgrundsgestalt och han har inspirerat många författare, konstnärer - och kompositörer. Hans dikter har influerat såväl Ludwig van Beethoven och Felix Mendelssohn som Franz Schubert och Robert Schumann.
Goethe var under sin levnad en celebritet och var vän med flera av tidens betydande personer, bland dem Napoleon I (som läste Den unge Werthers lidanden sju gånger), Lord Byron och Friedrich von Schiller.
