Die Wahlverwandtschaften by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Die Wahlverwandtschaften" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a novel published in 1809. It tells the story of married couple Charlotte and Eduard, whose secluded life together unravels when two guests arrive at their estate. Like a chemical reaction, new attractions form: Charlotte drawn to the capable Captain Otto, Eduard to the young and quietly charming Ottilie. The conflict between desire and reason spirals into chaos, leading toward tragic consequences in this
work exploring passion, duty, and renunciation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
