Description

Though under threat of arrest, Egmont refuses to run away and give up his ideal of liberty. Imprisoned and abandoned because of the cowardice of his people, and despite the desperate efforts of his mistress Klärchen, he is sentenced to death.

Author

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) stands among the supreme figures of world literature — a poet, playwright, novelist, and thinker whose influence reaches far beyond Germany. With Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship he helped invent the Bildungsroman, the novel of education and self-formation that shaped European fiction from Dickens to Joyce.
