Intimate conversations with a literary giant illuminate art, science, and the life of a master.
This English edition presents I. M. Fuller’s translation of Eckermann’s vivid record of his talks with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in the final years of his life. Readers glimpse Goethe’s thoughts on poetry, drama, philosophy, and the practical craft of writing and painting, as well as his reflections on foreign literature, Chinese romance, and the making of a lasting work like Faust.
Across these pages, the discussions range from the purpose of art and the balance between beauty and meaning to the challenges of translating and shaping a modern work for the stage or page. The conversations reveal Goethe’s judgments about style, form, and how great ideas take shape in tangible, human terms.
Ideal for readers of literary biography and fans of Goethe who want a closer look at the man behind the masterworks.
