Description

Wilhelm goes through deep self-realisation and decides to escape his empty life of a bourgeois businessman. After a failed romance with the theatre, Wilhelm commits himself to the mysterious Tower Society. A coming-of-age tale, a story of education and disillusionment, a novel of ideas ranging across literature, philosophy and politics, a masterpiece that resists all pigeonholing.

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.
