Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Goethe, Vol. 1 of 3 The standard biography Goethe, and the most popular biography of any man written in Modem German, is herewith offered in translation to the English-reading public. It is the work of an eminent scholar, who devoted practically the whole of his life to the one purpose of erecting a worthy monument to the greatest poet of his country, and one of the greatest in the history of the world. Albert Bielschowsky was born in Namslau, Silesia, on the 3rd day of January, 1847. After receiving his doctor´s degree in classical philology, he followed the profession of teaching for sixteen years. In 1886 he moved to Berlin in order to enjoy the larger library facilities of the Prussian capital. Owing to a chronic illness with which he became afflicted, the Government relieved him of the exacting duties of his profession, and this enabled him to devote the last ten years of his life wholly to his biography of Goethe. He died on the 21st day of October, 1902. The first volume of his Goethe, sein Leben und seine Werke had appeared in 1895. The second and last volume was so nearly completed before his death that it was an easy matter for others who were familiar with his method and aims to finish it. It was published in 1903. As there is a great difference in the size of the two volumes, and the whole work divides very naturally into three parts of approximately equal length, it has been decided to publish the translation in three volumes, reserving the last two chapters of Volume I. of the original for the beginning of Volume II. of the translation.
