Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. In the author's youthful exuberance, he revels in the spectacle of 18th century high society during the election and coronation of the new Holy Roman Emperor, Joseph II. This memoir offers a delightful blend of eyewitness accounts of aristocratic pomp and ceremony, and the revealing personal reflections of a young man coming of age. As the young Goethe interacts with the intelligentsia and the elite of the day, he shares not only the superficial luster of their world but its underlying currents of ambition and intrigue. Whether he's penning poetry for a coquettish young noblewoman or observing the machinations of diplomats preparing for the election, Goethe displays a keen eye for the telling detail and a gift for the droll anecdote. Interestingly, this book provides a unique glimpse into the complex social and political dynamics of 18th century Europe, a world on the cusp of revolutionary change.
