No half title.Goethe was an early participant of the Sturm und Drang literary movement, which preceded the prominent Romantic movement that took over Europe in the following years; he is often considered to be the spark that ignited Romanticism. During his lifetime he was a prolific author not only of fiction, but also of science, politics, criticisms, botany, anatomy, and much more. Some of his most popular works include The Sorrows of Young Werther, a tragic story which marks the first novel of the Sturm und Drang, and Faust in two parts, a play about a man who sells his soul to the Devil, often considered to be one of Germany's greatest contribution to world literature.
