Faust I: Hamburger Leseheft plus Königs Materialien
Die Arbeit an seinem "Faust" hat Goethe von den Anfängen des Urfaust im Jahre 1772 bis zur Vollendung des 2. Teiles ein Jahr vor seinem Tode sein Leben lang beschäftigt. Das Schicksal Fausts, der aus unersättlichem Wissensdrang einen Pakt mit dem Teufel schließt, wird zum Gegenstand eines metaphysischen Welthandels zwischen dem an die irrende, aber gute Menschheit glaubenden Gott-Vater und Mephistopheles, der Verkörperung des Bösen. In diesem Werk spiegeln sich alle Stufen von Goethes Entwicklung vom Sturm und Drang der Jugend über die Klik der Reifezeit bis zum bis zum großartigen späten Stil Goethes wider. Das zeichnet die neue preisgünstige Reihe - Lesefreudlicher Originaltext - Breite Randspalte mit kurzen Worterklärungen - Platz für eigene Notizen - Navigationsleiste zur besseren Orientierung - Biografie des Autors - Ausführlicher Wort- und Sacherklärungsteil - Umfangreiche Materialien, nach Themenbereichen gebündelt

13.3k books6,975 followersA master of poetry, drama, and the novel, German writer and scientist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe spent 50 years on his two-part dramatic poem
Faust
, published in 1808 and 1832, also conducted scientific research in various fields, notably botany, and held several governmental positions.
George Eliot called him "Germany's greatest man of letters... and the last true polymath to walk the earth." Works span the fields of literature, theology, and humanism.
People laud this magnum opus as one of the peaks of world literature. Other well-known literary works include his numerous poems, the Bildungsroman Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship and the epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther .
With this key figure of German literature, the movement of Weimar classicism in the late 18th and early 19th centuries coincided with Enlightenment, sentimentality (Empfindsamkeit), Sturm und Drang, and Romanticism. The author of the scientific text Theory of Colours , he influenced Darwin with his focus on plant morphology. He also long served as the privy councilor ("Geheimrat") of the duchy of Weimar.
Goethe took great interest in the literatures of England, France, Italy, classical Greece, Persia, and Arabia and originated the concept of Weltliteratur ("world literature"). Despite his major, virtually immeasurable influence on German philosophy especially on the generation of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling, he expressly and decidedly refrained from practicing philosophy in the rarefied sense.
Influence spread across Europe, and for the next century, his works inspired much music, drama, poetry and philosophy. Many persons consider Goethe the most important writer in the German language and one of the most important thinkers in western culture as well. Early in his career, however, he wondered about painting, perhaps his true vocation; late in his life, he expressed the expectation that people ultimately would remember his work in optics.

Egal wie oft ich den Scheiß lese ich liebe es jedes mal wieder. Halleluja. Gretchen I am so sorry for you. Mephi mein Freund ich liebe alles was du sagst, weniger deine Taten aber whatever

Goethe ist überbewertet und hat einen leichten Faible für das Wort „Busen“. Wie kann man das bitte JEDE Seite einbauen?
