Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a remarkably comprehensive and well-structured account of the ancestral history of the great German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The author has spent decades going through the most important archives and historical-genealogical documents to trace the lineage of Goethe's family back to the 14th century. The book provides information on more than 250 ancestors of the poet and describes an extraordinarily broad panorama of historical events, social situations, religious and cultural developments intersecting at different epochs in what is now Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In short, it is an exceptionally well-documented and richly illustrated work that sheds light not just on Goethe's illustrious family but also on the broader history of the region. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
