Goethe'nin İnfazı

It has been seven years since the Duke's secret advisor, von Goethe, came to Weimar. While he was previously only the Duke's closest friend, he is now responsible for the finances of the principality and has been elevated to the rank of nobility. The Sorrows of Young Werther is circulating from hand to hand, affecting those who read it enough to drive them to suicide. Faust was one of the Duke's favorite works to read. But now that his youthful life with the "privilege of genius" is behind him, it is time to help the Duke to bring the principality out of the darkness of the Middle Ages. One of the most important, but most difficult decisions to be made is the death penalty to be given to Johanna, who allegedly killed her child.

Goethe's Execution, in addition to revealing a very unknown decision of Goethe, also reveals that the death penalty was applied with the most brutal methods imaginable. At times, he makes us share "young Johanna's suffering." The life truth of Johanna, a feeder working in the Lower Mill; While it consists of hunger, rape and a cruelty that will lead him to execution, the elegance experienced by the aristocracy with hunting parties and painting lessons constitute the two opposite stories of the novel. This impressive novel, written by Viktor Glass using court records, is a historical document to measure the progress made in human rights from past to present.
