Chronicle As Books Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship

Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, a novel of self-realization greatly admired by the Romantics, has been called the first Bildungsroman and has had a tremendous influence on the history of the German novel. The story centers on Wilhelm, a young man living in the mid-1700s who strives to break free from the restrictive world of economics and seeks fulfillment as an actor and playwright. Along with Eric Blackall's fresh translation of the work, this edition contains notes and an afterword by the translator that aims to put this novel into historical and artistic perspective for twentieth-century readers while showing how it defies categorization.

I wouldn't have thought about reading Goethe if we hadn't been sitting in the rain last November talking about Nietzsche, and we wouldn't have been talking about Nietzsche if Helen hadn't been trying to explain Steiner to me for the hundredth time, and she wouldn't have been trying to explain Steiner to me if someone hadn't recently advised me to read Schopenhauer and I'd discovered that you couldn't really understand Schopenhauer if you didn't understand Kant, and she said the only thing she

A book which deals with Wilhelm Meister growing from a young man to an adult, on the way he meets obstacles and trials. He falls in love and picks up with various characters, both noble and poor.Some of the characters are there as merely background but there is a central core through the book. Some seem childish, constantly causing problems whilst others appear wise beyond their years and are the voices of reason. Mignon, an old soul in a young body, and one of the best characters of the book.

An amazing insight into the German social and cultural life at the end of the 18th century. The book has a good balance between a good story, interesting character development and fascinating philosophy on life, love and art.

My second Goethe book. Not as melodramatic as his first book, The Sorrows of Young Werther (3 stars) but more comprehensive and seems more real. You see, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was a German novelist and since I have not been to Germany and my only idea of Germany are from the books that I've read particularly around WWII, I always find it interesting to read about this country during the 17th-19th centuries. Then what's the better way of knowing how the people in one country

This was a treasure. I loved this book as it relates to a secret society. The theater and puppets make a great metaphor for what is to come. If you like books that explore the idea of a secret society and rituals you will like this book.

In which Goethe does Shakespeare fan-fiction at three different and intersecting levels, and where it's sometimes hard to figure out which is which.

Felt bored in the most part at the beginning, but suddenly the story changed direction. Don't know where our experience will bring us to. Like Saul, who looked for his father' donkey but won the whole kingdom.
