Synopsis:

Excerpt from Goethes Das Märchen: Edited, With Introduction, Notes, Vocabulary, and Conversational Exercises

Goethe (johann Wolfgang von the greatest literary genius since Shakespeare, was born in Frank furt on the Main, then one Of the Free Towns or republics of Germany, August 28, 1749. His father, an imperial councillor, was a lawyer and destined his son for the same profession, but the latter, after some years of practice, accepted a position as friend and counsellor of the young Duke of saxe-weimar, Karl August, and thenceforth lived in Weimar, the capital of that little state. Here he met some of the greatest lights in Ger man literature: Wieland, distinguished both as an elegant prose writer and as a poet, the romantic epic Oberon being his finest poetic production; Herder, the great divine and philosophic thinker, whose acquaintance he had made while he was a student at the university of Strassburg, and later Schiller, his great rival and devoted friend: This group of remarkable men made Weimar one of the most famous places in the history of literature.
