About This Novel
"The Sorrows of Young Werther" is regarded as the most important novel of the Sturm und Drang era. This novel had a very high print run of that era and triggered a "reading craze". The novel is written in the form of an epistolary letter and adopts the first person point of view. It tells the story of Werther's "wonderful joy" when he first arrived in Valheim, the respectable and lovely villagers and priests around him, and his heartbeat and pure emotions when he first met Lotte. Everything is so beautiful that it makes people have the urge to cry. However, Lotte was already engaged, and Werther followed the advice and found a small position in the official residence. However, he could not stand the minister's faultfinding, and was judged as arrogant by the people around him because of his unworldly thoughts. In the end, he was humiliated at a party, so he resigned and returned to Walheim. But the lovely and innocent old acquaintance was gone forever, but Werther was trapped in a fruitless love for Lotte and couldn't extricate himself, and finally committed suicide by drinking a bullet.

There are always some things that are unforgettable in our hearts when we are young, such as love, friendship, recognition, etc.
Come by being famous
I heard that this book was a must-have on Nahuang's bedside when he was young, and he even recommended it to his soldiers🤣. The book is excellent. I have read the physical book a long time ago. I occasionally see it here and keep it as a souvenir.
Some people keep thinking, while others don't think about anything.
Young people are always in love
A masterpiece is a masterpiece
Which token put it in the supernatural? !
Even though thousands of years have passed, there are always striking similarities in the thoughts of each era. Maybe the environment will be very different, but some ideas will always coincide for unknown reasons and can be used in any era.
