Johann Goethe

Odno iz velichajshikh proizvedenij mirovoj literatury i trud vsej zhizni Ioganna Volfganga fon Gjote filosofskaja tragedija "Faust" vobrala v sebja, kazhetsja, vse glavnye voprosy chelovecheskogo suschestvovanija: chto est dobro i zlo, chto est ljubov, i samyj vazhnyj vopros - chto spaset dushu? Ponjat beskonechnoe stremitsja glavnyj geroj Faust - figura mnogogrannaja i znachitelnaja. Mefistofel govorit o Fauste: "On rvetsja v boj i ljubit brat pregrady, i vidit tsel, manjaschuju vdali, i trebuet u neba zvezd v nagradu i luchshikh naslazhdenij u zemli, i vek emu s dushoj ne budet sladu, k chemu by poiski ni priveli".

First published in 1774, "The Sorrows of Young Werther" is the loosely autobiographical epistolary novel by German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. This classically tragic story is one of unrequited love. During a stay in the fictional village of Wahlheim, Werther becomes enamored with the simple ways of the peasantry there. He meets and falls in love with the beautiful young Lotte, despite her engagement to Albert. The highly emotional Werther is overcome with grief over the fact that the one that he loves will marry another. Despite this fact, he develops a friendship with the couple over the next few months. Eventually his pain becomes so great that he must take his leave. After a time he returns, but seeing the couple now married brings his grief to an extreme that he can no longer bare, which leads to the novel's epically tragic conclusion. Cited as a major work from the "Sturm und Drang" period of German literature, which would be highly influential of the Romantic period to come, "The Sorrows of Young Werther" was Goethe's most famous work during his lifetime, one which would bring him instant international fame. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of R. D. Boylan.

Fausto es el protagonista de una leyenda cl sica alemana, un erudito de gran xito, pero tambi n insatisfecho con su vida, por lo que hace un trato con el diablo, intercambiando su alma por el conocimiento ilimitado y los placeres mundanos. La historia de Fausto es la base de muchas obras literarias, art sticas, cinematogr ficas y musicales.

Tragedija "Faust", vershina tvorchestva I. V. Gete, vyshla v svet v Germanii dva stoletija tomu nazad i neodnokratno perevodilas na russkij jazyk. V etoj knige nemetskij tekst pechataetsja vmeste s perevodom Borisa Pasternaka, vypolnennom v seredine KHKh veka i s tekh por ostajuschimsja samym luchshim, zhivym i sovremennym vosproizvedeniem "Fausta" na russkom jazyke. Sochetanie velikikh imen delaet etot perevod sobytiem bolshogo kulturnogo znachenija i pridaet osobyj smysl ponimaniju perevoda kak realnosti bessmertija tvorenij chelovecheskogo genija. Perevodchik: Pasternak Boris Leonidovich

Doktor Iogann Faustus - nemetskij alkhimik pervoj poloviny XVI veka, chja slava "velikogo chernoknizhnika" byla stol grandiozna, chto narodnaja molva sozdala o nem prichudlivuju legendu. Eto predanie stalo chastju evropejskogo folklora i vdokhnovilo mnozhestvo pisatelej - kak perioda Renessansa, tak i sovremennykh, - no nikomu iz nikh ne udalos podnjatsja do vysot Gete. Faust Gete - ne prosto chelovek, prodavshij dushu djavolu (khotja pisatel polnostju sokhranil pochti vse sjuzhetnye osobennosti legendy), a velikij uchenyj, intellektual i gumanist, mechtajuschij o schaste vsego chelovechestva i neustanno ischuschij puti ego dostizhenija. On somnevaetsja, sovershaet oshibki, terpit neudachi, no prodolzhaet svoj podvizhnicheskij trud." Faust" - proizvedenie, kotoroe Gete pisal pochti vsju zhizn, pri vsej svoej slozhnosti, mnogoplanovosti, pri vsem tom, chto v nem nashli otrazhenie i antichnye mify, i nemetskij folklor, i filosofskie idei raznogo vremeni, i biblejskie sjuzhety, - udivitelno uvlekatelnoe chtenie. I sovremennyj chitatel, uglubivshis v "Fausta" i zadumavshis nad smyslom zhizni i dazhe nad sudboj vsego chelovechestva, tochno ne budet skuchat. Perevodchik: Kholodkovskij Nikolaj Aleksandrovich

Velikij Gete zadumal svoego "Fausta", kogda emu bylo nemnogim bolshe dvadtsati let, a zavershil tragediju za neskolko mesjatsev do konchiny. Eto proizvedenie stalo itogom filosofskikh i khudozhestvennykh iskanij avtora - poeta, dramaturga, prozaika, krupnejshego uchenogo svoego vremeni, cheloveka entsiklopedicheskikh poznanij. Geroj tragedii doktor Iogann Faust zhil v pervoj polovine XVI veka i slyl magom i chernoknizhnikom, kotoryj, otvergnuv sovremennuju nauku i religiju, prodal dushu djavolu. O Fauste khodili ustnye legendy, on byl geroem teatralnykh predstavlenij, k ego obrazu obraschalis avtory - G. R. Vidman, K. Marlo, F. M. Klinger, G. E. Lessing i drugie. Pod perom Gete istorija o Fauste, posvjaschennaja vechnym temam poznanija zhizni i trudnosti chelovecheskogo puti, stala odnoj iz vershin mirovoj literatury. Perevodchik: Nikolaj Kholodkovskij

V knigu voshlo klassicheskoe proizvedenie evropejskogo sentimentalizma - roman Ioganna Volfganga Gjote STRADANIJa JUNOGO VERTERA, v kotorom otrazilsja lichnyj ljubovno-psikhologicheskij opyt avtora. Tragicheskaja istorija molodogo bjurgera, ne nashedshego otveta na svoe chuvstvo i otvergnutogo obschestvom, byla mgnovenno perevedena na drugie jazyki i porodila cheredu prodolzhenij i podrazhanij - tak nazyvaemuju verterianu. So vremenem "Verter, muchenik mjatezhnyj" stal odnim iz "vechnykh obrazov" mirovoj literatury i vvel v evropejskuju kulturu sotsiopsikhologicheskij fenomen "verterizma", svjazannyj s melankholicheskim umonastroeniem i problemoj samoubijstva kak vysshego projavlenija svobody voli. V nastojaschem izdanii vpervye vykhodit v svet novyj perevod romana, vypolnennyj izvestnym perevodchikom Romanom Semenovichem Ejvadisom.
