Geschichte des Agathon. Teil 1 by Christoph Martin Wieland

"Geschichte des Agathon. Teil 1" by Christoph Martin Wieland is a novel first published in 1766-1767. Considered the first major German bildungsroman and precursor to the modern psychological novel, it follows young Athenian Agathon's journey to maturity in ancient Greece. Through encounters with corrupt priests, fickle politicians, manipulative sophists, and political idealists, the enthusiastic dreamer faces repeated disappointments that challenge his idealistic worldview. His path leads him toward a more realistic understanding of virtue, wisdom, and happiness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
