Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miscellaneous Travels of J. W. Goethe: Comprising Letters From Switzerland; The Campaign in France, 1792; The Siege of Maine; And a Tour on the Rhine, Maine, and Neckar, 1814-15 The travels of Goethe collected in this volume and arranged in their chronological order, comprise the account of his second tour in Switzerland in 1779, his account of the Campaign in France in 1792, the Siege of Mainz in 1793, and a tour on the Rhine, Maine, and Neckar, in 1814 and 1815. The Swiss tour is a mere reprint of a translation that has already appeared in the second volume of Goethe´s Autobiography, for which, therefore, I cannot hold myself in any way responsible. The Campaign and Siege of Mainz, however, I have very carefully revised from a translation by Mr. Farie, published some years since, but which could scarcely be allowed to stand as it was. The Tour on the Rhine, Maine, and Neckar, appears here for the first time in English. The First Part of the Swiss tour with its allusion to Werther has suggested the theory that Goethe intended to write a sort of prelude to that novel by way of giving it a more explicit motif. If so, the design was abandoned, and the work has remained fragmentary. For this reason, I believe, it was not considered essential to translate it with absolute completeness, and a digression which has no bearing on the main course of the narrative I has been abridged.
