Angury Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Has anyone read this beautifully written novel? I'd love to hear other peoples' opinions on it. Personally, I couldn't put it down - I finished it all in one sitting. Despite being so melodramatic, I feel it really captures the moment when one becomes so consumed by a desire, that everything else just becomes dull in comparison. There are so many enchanting passages woven throughout the story, I would really recommend this to anyone who has been considering giving it a go - it's only about a hundred pages long, and I can almost guarantee that it will capture your attention. Has anyone read anything else by Goethe? After becoming encapsulated within his writing, I feel like I must read everything he has ever written.

woolf woolf Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I read it last year. I liked it, but assumed his intense desire was just literary artifice. I haven't read anything more of him, but I want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
