Werther, a sensitive young artist, finds himself in Wahlheim, a quiet, attractive village in Germany where he seeks solace from the turmoils of love. It is a young spring, and he hopes that arcadian solitude will prove a genial balm to his mind. But his romantic tendency rules otherwise, and he falls in love with Charlotte - Lotte - even though he knows she is affianced to another.

In a series of letters to his friend, Wilhelm, he charts the course of his love, which rises to passion and obsession and, ultimately, tragedy.

The Sorrows of Young Werther is the iconic love story which helped to usher in the Romantic age. Partially autobiographical, von Goethe, aged just 24, wrote it in just six weeks, and when it appeared in 1774 it immediately established his reputation. Told through the protagonist's eyes, it is the gradual rise of Werther's strong feelings checked by attempts at restraint and complicated by a friendship with Lotte's husband that keeps the listener on edge - especially when read with sympathy, as here, by Leighton Pugh.

Translated by R. D. Boylan; revised by Leighton Pugh.

This translation of WERTHER is close the the early 19th century translation but altered slightly to be more modern and readable.

The audio book narrator was perfect.

A tragic story well told

A wonderful book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be worthwhile and generally entertaining. I further highly recommend this book.

The vocals in this audible are far better than the other options for this book. I would recommend people listen to this one.

Great performance for a classical story.

Excellent reading by Leighton Pugh.

A German classic and deservedly so.

A MUST

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. I found it quite long and repetitive, and was torn between finishing it and cutting it short. I did finish it, reluctantly. The obsession portrayed toward Lotta by Werther seems way overboard to me.

First Goethe book

I did not think I’d give Goethe less than 5 stars, but while the writing has impeccable technique, the language is rich and captivating, the story itself is focused on the narrator in a way that I can’t fully appreciate the overall read. The performance is really beautiful, although a bit more dramatic than necessary at times.
So, if you’re in the mood for a classic romantic story, with masterful writing, then this is it. But be careful of Goethe’s romanticism. It can be more than a modern reader can bear.

Too classical for my taste

The world can dull a person at times, Goethe’s work will revitalize you; evoke nostalgia and an appreciation of beauty will be evident after you listen to the last page. Enjoy Goethe.

Goethe; sensitive, vivid, emotional

Good narration.

I didn't enjoy this, and it wasn't because it was depressing, but because it had no plot, and the main character was simply self absorbed and unlikeable. The writing was poetic. That was about it.
