Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a German writer, poet, and philosopher, best known for his literary works such as “Faust,” “The Sorrows of Young Werther,” and “Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship.” Born on August 28, 1749, in Frankfurt, Germany, Goethe made significant contributions to literature, philosophy, and science during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
His novel “The Sorrows of Young Werther” (1774) made him famous throughout Europe and is often considered one of the defining works of the Sturm und Drang literary movement. Goethe’s later works, including the dramatic poem “Faust” (1808), are often seen as exemplars of German literature.
In addition to his literary pursuits, Goethe was deeply interested in natural science. He conducted research in various fields, including botany, anatomy, and optics, and his work in these areas influenced later scientists such as Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Darwin.
Goethe’s literary and scientific achievements have had a lasting impact, earning him a place as one of the most important figures in German cultural history. He died on March 22, 1832, in Weimar, Germany, leaving behind a rich legacy that continues to be celebrated and studied to this day.
