**"By pursuing human beauty and ideals and deeply understanding art and nature, he brought new enlightenment to humanity."**
German poet, dramatist, novelist, natural scientist, polymath, politician, and lawyer. He was a leading figure in German literature, leaving behind significant works in a wide range of fields, including the novels *The Sorrows of Young Werther* and *Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship*, the epic poem *Hermann and Dorothea*, and the dramatic poem *Faust*.
His literary career can be broadly divided into three periods. In his early years, Goethe was a representative poet of the Sturm und Drang movement, having been taught by Herder, and gained European renown with *The Sorrows of Young Werther*, published when he was 25. He then became a court advisor to the Duchy of Weimar (later serving as Privy Councillor and Chief Minister, or Chancellor), and for a time devoted himself to public service. However, through his romance with Charlotte von Stein and a trip to Italy, he became aware of the harmonious beauty of antiquity, and wrote works such as *Egmont*, *Hermann and Dorothea*, and *Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship*. Together with Schiller, he established the Classical period in German literature.
Even in his later years, after Schiller's death, his creative drive remained undiminished. While continuing his public duties and natural scientific research, he produced mature works such as *Elective Affinities*, *Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years*, and *West–Eastern Divan*. His magnum opus, *Faust*, was a life's work, written from his twenties until just before his death. He also left behind the travelogue *Italian Journey*, the autobiography *Poetry and Truth*, and, as a natural scientist, works such as *Metamorphosis of Plants* and *Theory of Colours*.
