Werther es un joven vitalista al que le apasionan los espectaculos naturales, los ninos como representacion de un futuro prometedor y los poemas de Homero y Ossian. En su retiro en un pequeno pueblo aleman conoce a Lotte, de la que no tarda en enamorarse, a pesar de que ella esta ya prometida. La aparentemente sencilla historia de amor que se nos relata en Las penas del joven Werther se transforma, en manos de un genio como Goethe, enuna innovadora obra de arte, toda una declaracion de principios en contra de las normas establecidas y en la que se nota la clara voluntad del autor de romper las fronteras del lenguaje y con la tradicion literaria anterior. Inmediatamente despues de su publicacion, la novela sacudio los cimientos de la cultura europea, se convirtio en punta de lanza del movimiento romantico al que precedio e hizo de su protagonista el modelo de toda una generacion de jovenes. / For more than two centuries the very title of this book has evoked the sensitivity of youth, the suffering of the artist, the idea of a hero too full of love to live. Here is the classic story of Werther, a young man seeking the infinite in an art he cannot master and a woman he cannot have.
