The Sorrows of Young Werther (THE GREAT CLASSICS LIBRARY)

The Sorrows of Young Werther (German: Die Leiden des jungen Werthers) is an epistolary and loosely autobiographical novel, first published in 1774; a revised edition of the novel was published in 1787. Itwas an important novel of the Sturm und Drang period in German literature, and influenced the later Romantic literary movement.
The book made Goethe one of the first international literary celebrities. Towards the end of his life, a personal visit to Weimar became crucial to any young man's tour of Europe.
