About This Book
The Sorrows of Young Werther is an epistolary novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Presented as a collection of letters written by Werther, a young artist of a sensitive and passionate temperament, to his friend Wilhelm. His sorrow comes from the fact that he has fallen in love with Charlotte, even though he knows that she is engaged to be married. Goethe later acknowledged the influence the book could have on young forlorn lovers, 'It must be bad, if not everybody was to have a time in his life, when he felt as though Werther had been written exclusively for him.'
