This well-loved copy of “Goethe: Four Studies” offers a unique glimpse into the life and works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, one of the most influential figures in German literature and the broader Western canon. Written by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Albert Schweitzer, this insightful volume explores four pivotal aspects of Goethe’s oeuvre: his worldview, his ethics, his conception of nature, and his idea of the tragic. Schweitzer’s deep reverence for Goethe’s genius shines through, as he skillfully weaves together literary analysis, philosophical musings, and personal reflections. Despite its age and wear, this edition remains a treasured resource for scholars, collectors, and ardent admirers of Goethe’s enduring legacy.
