Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) still stands as one of the paramount writers of German fiction and European Romanticism. A German writer, Goethe was actually embraced by all over Europe and even published some of his work in English and French. Goethe is most widely known for his book Faust, a story of one man tempted by a pact he made with the devil. It should also be noted that aside from writing, Goethe was also an accomplished politician, humanist, scientist, and philosopher. (Add picture)

No smarter man was ever more relentlessly dull. I once sat through a few hours of a German performance of Faust before I decided there were some discos where I would rather be hanging out with Eurotrash. But when Goethe writes about Italy, everything changes. His work suddenly gets more interesting, especially the erotic poems. So I'd have to give him a mixed review.

A grim and unrelenting writer, with a sardonic and understated humor, and some interesting observations on the duality of man.
