The Sorrows of Young Werther - Johan Wolfgang von Goethe

Like Madonna, Goethe only needs one name to be introduced, the godfather of all German literature forever and always. And this! His first novel and the one that catapulted him to instant fame in Germany, and around the world. They say this was the first 'best seller' in the world, that people went nuts for it, and/or worse… “Knowing is not enough, we must apply." ~Goethe
