内容简介

You only find true love once. When Werther dances with the beautiful Lotte, it seems as though he is in paradise. It is a joy, however, that can only ever be short-lived. Engaged to another man, she tolerates Werther's adoration and encourages his friendship. She can never return his love. Broken-hearted, he leaves her home in the country, trying to escape his own desire. But when he receives a letter telling him that she is finally married, his passion soon turns to destructive obsession. And as his life falls apart, Werther is haunted by one certainty. He has lost his reason for living.

作者简介

约翰·沃尔夫冈·歌德（1749－1832）是德国近代杰出的诗人、作家和思想家。世人公认他是继但丁和莎士比亚之后西方精神文明最为卓越的代表。《少年维特的烦恼》这部以第一人称写就的书信体小说，不仅传达了欧洲从古老的封建制度向资产阶级过渡的转型时期，中青年一代追求“个性解放”，“感情自由”，“恢复自然的社会状态”，“建立平等的人与人关系”的强烈愿望，也阐明了作者自身鲜明的立场。
