Read Thomas Manns meditation on the power of literary representation and the tyranny of the writers imagination. Manns novel, written some 150 years after Goethes The Sorrows of Young Werther, follows Lotte Kestner, Goethes reallife heroine, as she makes a pilgrimage to Weimar to meet the author who courted her forty years before. To her surprise, Lotte is greeted on her arrival as a celebrity and immediately taken up into Goethes set. Time and place are brilliantly evoked in Manns novel, but its genius lies in his masterful portrayal of Goethe himself, and of the astonishing influence he exerted on his contemporaries.A masterpiece Stefan Zweig
