69K0

As the earliest work of German Romanticism, "The Sorrows of Young Werther" has epoch-making significance in the history of world literature. Goethe wrote this book when he was in his twenties. Once it was published, European youths rushed to imitate the protagonist of the story, triggering the "Werther fever" that swept the world. During the May Fourth Movement, "The Sorrows of Young Werther" was introduced to China and became a gift to couples determined to follow the path of free love.
