"The Sorrows of Young Werther" (German title: Die Leiden des jungen Werthers) is an epistolary and loosely autobiographical novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, first published in 1774 and 1787. "Werther" was an important novel of the Sturm und Drang period in German literature, and influenced the later Romantic literary movement. The book made Goethe one of the first international literary celebrities. Towards the end of Goehe's life, a personal visit to Weimar became crucial to any young man's tour of Europe.
