Goethe as writer

Every pupil in Germany probably knows at least one of the two following writings by Goethe. First to mention is "The Sorrows of Young Werther" which was an autobiographical novel by Johann and is one of the most important novels in German literature. This novel made him to become a famous international literary celebs and still is one of the best known of his works.

The second one is my favourite: FAUST. One of the few literature pieces you have to read in school I really enjoyed reading and analysing. Faust is a tragedy and probably the best work ever in German literature.
