This semi-autobiographic novel created a sensation in Europe and was Goethe's first major success. The story is told through several letters written by the main character, Werther, a sensitive young artist who falls in love with a woman who is engaged to and then married to another. Unrequited love and disillusionment drives young Werther to despair and eventually to suicide.
