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.
