The Sorrows of Young Werther

Goethe, who is considered one of the greatest writers of world literature today with his universal fame, based his The Sorrows of Young Werther, which he wrote when he was only twenty-five years old, on the unhappy relationship he had recently had with a young woman named Charlotte. This fascinating epistolary novel, which presented the world of literature with the "Romantic hero" driven to suicide by his unrequited love, attracted readers like a magnet with its poetry and passionate look at life. It is said that the novel, which influenced all the youth in Germany, caused many suicides, that the blue frock coat, yellow vest and boots worn by Werther created fashion in its time, and that even Napoleon always carried the book with him.
The Sorrows of Young Werther, consisting of letters written by Werther, an extremely sensitive and passionate young painter, to his dream friend Wilhelm, is a masterpiece of emotionalism that replaces rationalism in literature.
