Whaley West-Oestlicher divan London : Oswald Wolff (Publishers) Ltd., 1974 xiii, 233 p. Index present "The ageing Goethe finds new inspiration and youthfulness through the love of a young woman and the example of the great Persian poet Hafez. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), a towering figure in German culture, was remarkably prolific in many literary genres. But much of his work is scarcely known in the English-speaking world. With this new translation, Robert Martin tries to remedy this situation with regard to one of Goethe's most adventurous volumes of verse, the West-Eastern Divan. Here Goethe playfully pretends to be a Middle-Eastern poet, but draws on themes vital to all of humanity - love, creativity, wisdom, richness of life."--Back cover Eng Poetry German poetry 15999 German poetry-Translations into English 16000 Whaley, J. 16001 BK 142897 142897 0 0 0 0 01 01 2026-09-30 0 RHC 831.6 GOE-W 154704 2026-09-30 12:29:02 2026-09-30 BK
