Poetry and Truth. From My Life

I.V. Goethe wrote his autobiography for twenty years. Collecting bits and pieces of all the events that happened to him and prompted the writing of many masterpieces, the poet created one of his best works. This is not just memoirs — it is a historical essay about the world of the third quarter of the 18th century. The narrative of this book touches on the writer's childhood and youth. The death of loved ones, the beginning of war, first love, meeting the young Mozart — all these events that happened to Goethe at a young age reflected in his creativity.
