**「人間の美しさと理想を追求し、芸術と自然を深く理解することで、人間に新しい光を与えた」**
ドイツの詩人、劇作家、小説家、自然科学者、博学者、政治家、法律家。ドイツを代表する文豪であり、小説『若きウェルテルの悩み』『ヴィルヘルム・マイスターの修業時代』、叙事詩『ヘルマンとドロテーア』、詩劇『ファウスト』など広い分野で重要な作品を残した。
彼の文学活動は大きく3期に分けられる。初期のゲーテはヘルダーに教えを受けたシュトゥルム・ウント・ドラングの代表的詩人であり、25歳のときに出版した『若きウェルテルの悩み』でヨーロッパ中にその文名を轟かせた。その後ヴァイマル公国の宮廷顧問（その後枢密顧問官・政務長官つまり宰相も務めた）となりしばらく公務に没頭するが、シュタイン夫人との恋愛やイタリアへの旅行などを経て古代の調和的な美に目覚めていき、『エグモント』『ヘルマンとドロテーア』『ヴィルヘルム・マイスターの修業時代』などを執筆、シラーとともにドイツ文学における古典主義時代を築いていく。
シラーの死を経た晩年も創作意欲は衰えず、公務や自然科学研究を続けながら『親和力』『ヴィルヘルム・マイスターの遍歴時代』『西東詩集』など円熟した作品を成した。大作『ファウスト』は20代から死の直前まで書き継がれたライフ・ワークである。ほかに旅行記『イタリア紀行』、自伝『詩と真実』や、自然科学者として「植物変態論」、「色彩論」などの著作を残している。

English Summary
**"By pursuing human beauty and ideals and deeply understanding art and nature, he gave humanity a new light"**
German poet, playwright, novelist, natural scientist, polymath, politician, and lawyer. He was one of Germany's leading literary figures, and left behind important works in a wide range of fields, including the novels ``The Troubles of Young Werther'' and ``Wilhelm Meister's Training Period,'' the epic poem ``Hermann und Dorothea,'' and the poetic drama ``Faust.''
His literary activities can be roughly divided into three periods. In his early years, Goethe was a representative poet of Sturm und Drang, who was taught by Herder, and his work became famous throughout Europe with ``The Sorrows of Young Werther'', which he published at the age of 25. He then became a court advisor to the Duchy of Weimar (later serving as Privy Councilor and Parliamentary Secretary, or Chancellor), and for a while devoted himself to public affairs, but through his love affair with Madame Stein and a trip to Italy, he became aware of the harmonious beauty of ancient times, and wrote such works as ``Egmont,'' ``Hermann und Dorothea,'' and ``The Training Period of Wilhelm Meister,'' and together with Schiller, established the classicist era in German literature.
Even in his later years after Schiller's death, his desire to create remained undiminished, and while continuing his public affairs and natural science research, he produced mature works such as ``The Power of Affinity,'' ``The Travels of Wilhelm Meister,'' and ``Collected Poems from the West and the East.'' His masterpiece ``Faust'' is his life's work, written from his 20s until just before his death. In addition, he has written a travelogue, ``Italian Travels,'' an autobiography, ``Poetry and Truth,'' and as a natural scientist, he has written works such as ``Plant Metamorphosis'' and ``Color Theory.''
