Tentang pengarang
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) stands as a towering figure in German literature and Western philosophy. Born in Frankfurt, he exhibited a multifaceted genius that encompassed literature, science, and philosophy. Goethe's early works such as 'The Sorrows of Young Werther' (1774) earned him fame and were emblematic of the Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress) literary movement, which celebrated intense emotion and individualism. His magnum opus, 'Faust,' is considered one of the greatest achievements of Western literature, combining drama, poetry, and philosophy in an exploration of human striving and transcendence. In addition to his literary prowess, Goethe's contributions to the understanding of natural phenomena, especially in optics, were groundbreaking. His theory of colors, although it did not stand the test of time in the scientific community, reflected his perennial quest for knowledge and the interconnection of natural forces. 'The Elective Affinities' (1809), cited here, is a novel that exemplifies Goethe's literary style. It uses the metaphor of chemical elective affinities to explore the complexities of human relationships and ethical dilemmas. The novel's blend of scientific concept and literary craft is reflective of Goethe's unique ability to weave together different domains of human thought and experience. As a notable figure in the Weimar Classicism movement, Goethe's work is marked by a celebration of harmony and a quest for the universal truths underlying human existence.
