The book is divided into two parts, with the first part titled ""Truth"" and the second part titled ""Poetry."" In the ""Truth"" section, Goethe discusses his personal and professional life, including his relationships, his work as a civil servant, and his travels. He also reflects on his philosophical beliefs and the role of truth in his life. In the ""Poetry"" section, Goethe focuses on his literary work, including his poetry, plays, and novels. He discusses his creative process, his inspirations, and the themes that he explored in his writing. Goethe also reflects on the relationship between truth and poetry, arguing that poetry can be a powerful tool for expressing emotional truths that cannot be conveyed through factual statements.Overall, The Autobiography of Goethe, Part 3-4: Truth and Poetry, From My Life (1847) is a fascinating insight into the life and work of one of the most important figures in German literature.
