West-östlicher Divan by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"West-östlicher Divan" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a collection of lyrical poems written between 1814 and 1819. Inspired by the Persian poet Hafez, this work bridges Orient and Occident through twelve books of varied poetry—parables, historical allusions, and political verses. The collection explores cultural exchange between Germany and the Middle East, blending Latin and Persian traditions, Christian and Muslim cultures. Goethe's late masterpiece includes accompanying notes explaining historical figures and terms,
making it his final great poetic cycle. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
