The Sorrows of Young Werther (Stradaniya Yunogo Vertera)

The book includes a classic work of European sentimentalism, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's novel 'The Sorrows of Young Werther,' which reflects the author's personal experience with love and psychology. The tragic story of a young burgher whose feelings were unrequited and rejected by society was instantly translated into other languages ​​and spawned a series of sequels and imitations—the so-called Wertheriana. Over time, 'Werther, the Rebellious Martyr' became one of the 'eternal images' of world literature and introduced the sociopsychological phenomenon of 'Wertherism' into European culture, associated with a melancholic frame of mind and the idea of ​​suicide as the ultimate expression of free will.
