A Fairy Tale Goethe s Das M rchen translated by Thomas Carlyle and R.D. Boylan. http://www.fln.vcu.edu/goethe/maerchen_e.html
Extractions: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe W earied with the labours of the day, an old Ferryman lay asleep in his hut, on the bank of a wide river, which the late heavy rains had swollen to an unprecedented height. In the middle of the night he was awakened by a loud cry: he listened; it was the call of some travellers who wished to be ferried over. Upon opening the door, he was surprised to see two Will-o'-the-wisps dancing round his boat, which was still secured to its moorings. Speaking with human voices, they assured him that they were in the greatest possible hurry, and wished to be carried instantly to the other side of the river. Without losing a moment, the old Ferryman pushed off, and rowed across with his usual dexterity. During the passage the strangers whispered together in an unknown language, and several times burst into loud laughter; whilst they amused themselves with dancing upon the sides and seats of the boat, and cutting fantastic capers at the bottom. "The boat reels," cried the old man; "and, if you continue so restless, it may upset. Sit down, you Will-o'-the-wisps." They burst into loud laughter at this command, ridiculed the boatman, and became more troublesome than ever. But he bore their annoyance patiently, and they soon reached the opposite bank of the river.
Novella Goethe s Novelle translated by Thomas Carlyle and R.D. Boylan. http://www.fln.vcu.edu/goethe/novelle_e.html
Extractions: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe T he thick fog of an early autumnal morning obscured the extensive courts which surrounded the prince's castle; but through the mists, which gradually dispersed, a stranger might observe a cavalcade of horse and foot, already engaged in their early preparations for the field. The active employments of the domestics were already discernible. These latter were engaged in lengthening and shortening stirrup-leathers, preparing the rifles and ammunition, and arranging the game-bags whilst the dogs, impatient of restraint, threatened to break away from the slips by which they were held. Then the horses became restive, from their own high mettle, or excited by the spur of the rider, who could not resist the temptation to make a vain display of his prowess, even in the obscurity by which he was surrounded. The cavalcade awaited the arrival of the prince, who was delayed too long while taking leave of his young wife. Lately married, they thoroughly appreciated the happiness of their own congenial dispositions: both were lively and animated, and each shared with delight the pleasures and pursuits of the other. The prince's father had lived long enough to enjoy that period of life when one learns that all the members of a state should spend their time in diligent employments, and that every one should engage in some energetic occupation corresponding with his taste, and should by this means first acquire, and then enjoy, the fruits of his labour. How far these maxims had proved successful might have been observed on this very day; for it was the anniversary of the great market in the town, a festival which might indeed be considered a species of fair. The prince had, on the previous day, conducted his wife on horseback through the busy scene, and had caused her to observe what a convenient exchange was carried on between the productions of the mountainous districts and those of the plain; and he took occasion then and there to direct her attention to the industrious character of his subjects.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von. 17491832. GERMANY'S GREATEST WRITER. BY FREDERIC HENRY HEDGE. http://www.djmcadam.com/goethe.html
Extractions: Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von GERMANY'S GREATEST WRITER. BY FREDERIC HENRY HEDGE. I. THE MAN. Genius of the supreme order presupposes a nature of equal scope as the prime condition of its being. The Gardens of Adonis require little earth, but the oak will not flourish in a tub; and the wine of Tokay is the product of no green-house, nor gotten of sour grapes. Given a genuine great poet, you will find a greater man behind, in whom, among others, these virtues predominate,courage, generosity, truth. Pre-eminent among the poets of the modern world stands Goethe, chief of his own generation, challenging comparison with the greatest of all time. His literary activity embraces a span of nigh seventy years in a life of more than fourscore, beginning, significantly enough, with a poem on "Christ's Descent into Hell" (his earliest extant composition), and ending with Faust'sthat is, Man'sascent into heaven. The rank of a writerhis spiritual import to human kindmay be inferred from the number and worth of the writings of which he has furnished the topic and occasion. "When kings build," says Schiller, speaking of Kant's commentators, "the draymen have plenty to do." Dante and Shakspeare have created whole libraries through the interest inspired by their writings. The Goethe-literature, so-called,though scarce fifty years have elapsed since the poet's death,already numbers its hundreds of volumes.

Extractions: Inicio Buscador Las figuras clave de la historia Reportajes Los protagonistas de la actualidad Johann Wolfgang Goethe (Frankfurt, 1749-Weimar, id., 1832) Escritor alemán. Nacido en el seno de una familia patricia burguesa, su padre se encargó personalmente de su educación. En 1765 inició los estudios de derecho en Leipzig, aunque una enfermedad le obligó a regresar a Frankfurt. Una vez recuperada la salud, se trasladó a Estrasburgo para proseguir sus estudios. Fue éste un período decisivo, ya que en él se produjo un cambio radical en su orientación poética. Frecuentó los círculos literarios y artísticos del Sturm und Drang , germen del primer Romanticismo y conoció a Herder, quien lo invitó a descubrir a Homero, Ossian, Shakespeare y la poesía popular. Goethe Fruto de estas influencias, abandonó definitivamente el estilo rococó de sus comienzos y escribió varias obras que iniciaban una nueva poética, entre ellas Canciones de Sesenheim , poesías líricas de tono sencillo y espontáneo, y Sobre la arquitectura alemana (1773), himno en prosa dedicado al arquitecto de la catedral de Estrasburgo, y que inaugura el culto al genio.

Extractions: La vita di Goethe Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, poeta, drammaturgo, romanziere e scienziato tedesco, nacque a Francoforte nel 1749 , figlio di un funzionario dell'amministrazione imperiale; a 16 anni lasciò Francoforte per studiare legge a Lipsia e poi a Strasburgo. Furono anni di intensa vita sociale e culturale; si interessò alla medicina, alle arti figurative, al disegno, e cominciò a scrivere versi libertini e scherzosi ( Il libro di Annette ). Dello stesso periodo è una tragedia in versi, I Complici (1768), cui seguono i drammi Goetz von Berlichingen Clavigo e Stella . Alla rottura del breve idillio con Käthchen Schömkopf seguì una fase di turbamento e agitazione: poi nel 1768, ammalatosi gravemente, fece ritorno a Francoforte e, superata la fase critica della malattia, durante la convalescenza si dedicò a studi di magia, astrologia, alchimia. Dal 1770 al 1771 visse a Strasburgo , dove accanto alle discipline giuridiche, coltivò lo studio della musica, dell'arte, dell'anatomia e della chimica ; qui ebbe la rivelazione dell'arte gotica tramite Herder, e si innamorò di
