es Allmächtigen, der uns nach
seinem Bilde schuf, das Wehen des Alliebenden, der uns in ewiger Wonne
schwebend trägt und erhält; mein Freund! Wenn's dann um meine Augen
dämmert, und die Welt um mich her und der Himmel ganz in meiner Seele
ruhn wie die Gestalt einer Geliebten--dann sehne ich mich oft und
denke : ach könntest du das wieder ausdrücken, könntest du dem Papiere
das einhauchen, was so voll, so warm in dir lebt, daß es würde der
Spiegel deiner Seele, wie deine Seele ist der Spiegel des unendlichen
Gottes!--mein Freund--aber ich gehe darüber zugrunde, ich erliege
unter der Gewalt der Herrlichkeit dieser Erscheinungen.
Ich weiß nicht, ob täuschende Geister um diese Gegend schweben, oder ob die warme, himmlische Phantasie in meinem Herzen ist, die mir alles rings umher so paradiesisch macht. Das ist gleich vor dem Orte ein Brunnen, ein Brunnen, an den ich gebannt bin wie Melusine mit ihren Schwestern.--Du gehst einen kleinen Hügel hinunter und findest dich vor einem Gewölbe, da wohl zwanzig Stufen

Beware! This volume is not the complete book. This volume is the first half of the book 'Die Leiden des jungen Werther', for the second half of the story you will have to download 'Die Leiden des jungen Werther - Band 2' as well. The complete version of this book has app. 110 pages in print, so it can be read in one evening. 'Die Leiden des jungen Werther' is a major literary work, and I recommend it to everyone who loves reading good literature.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) published this book in 1874. Most of the book is written as a epistolary novel in the form of letters written by the 'me' (Werther) to his friend Wilhelm. This book is typical for the 'Sturm und Drang'-period, which is a type of German literature written mainly in the period 1767-1785. It is a reaction to the rationalism of the Enlightenment and advocates listening to your heart, feelings take precedence.
In this book the student Werther falls in love with Lotte, who looks after her brothers and sisters after the death of her mother. Lotte is engaged to Albert. Werther becomes friends with Lotte and Albert, even though it hurts him that they are engaged. After a while his pain becomes too much and he leaves town, but later decides to go back. I won't tell what happens then because I don't want to give away the ending, but there is a lot of emotions, feelings, hurt and desperation before this book ends.
