M. Coetzee, New York Review of Books \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA masterpiece of the European imagination, The Sufferings of\u003cbr\u003eYoung Werther is the classic strum und drang tale of\u003cbr\u003eyouthful angst and tragedy. The acclaimed translator Stanley\u003cbr\u003eCorngold brings passion and precision to Goethe?s timeless\u003cbr\u003enovel of obsessive love and madness in this magnificent new\u003cbr\u003erendition.

This hugely\u003cbr\u003einfluential novel was immediately bought, printed, read, exported,\u003cbr\u003eand imitated throughout Europe, and what Goethe called the novel's\u003cbr\u003e\"fire rockets\" have continued to blaze through the centuries,\u003cbr\u003einfluencing, among many others, Thomas Mann and Franz Kafka.
