Publisher's Synopsis
The New Werther is a novel written by Loki and published in 1880. The book is a retelling of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's famous novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther. The story follows a young man named Werther who falls in love with a woman named Lotte, who is already engaged to another man. Werther becomes increasingly obsessed with Lotte and his unrequited love leads him down a path of despair and ultimately, suicide. In The New Werther, Loki updates the story to reflect the social and cultural changes of the time. The book explores themes of unrequited love, mental health, and the pressures of society. The characters are complex and well-developed, and the prose is both poetic and haunting. The New Werther was praised for its originality and its ability to capture the essence of Goethe's original work while also bringing something new to the table. The book has since become a classic in its own right and continues to be read and studied by scholars and readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
