Wilhelm Meister's Studying Era

About This Novel
This book is the pinnacle of German Bildungsroman. As the son of a businessman, William Meister is a passionate young man full of ideals and vitality. He is dissatisfied with the mediocrity and profit-seeking of the civil class, and hopes to transform society through dramatic art and aesthetic education. However, the chaotic and dirty theater world makes his efforts confused. William wandered around and came into contact with various world conditions, and finally got acquainted with a noble group composed of enlightened nobles, and became a seeker who constantly pursues the perfection of human nature and lofty social ideals. In this ideal society, everyone has his or her own personality, and at the same time respects each other and works together; everyone has lofty ideals, but at the same time, everyone is a doer who is not good at empty talk. William initially sought the art of drama, but ultimately found the art of life.
