Poetry and Truth. From My Life

It took I. V. Goethe twenty years to write his autobiography. By piecing together the most significant events that influenced him and sparked the creation of his famous masterpieces, the poet created one of his best works. This is not just a memoir - it is a historical essay on the state of Europe in the second half of the 18th century. The book is dedicated to the childhood and youth of the writer. The death of loved ones, the beginning of war, first love, meeting the young Mozart: all these events that happened to Goethe at an early age were reflected in his work.
