Today his name is echoed as that of a \"great man\" alongside Plato, Montaigne and Shakespeare. This book covers the last nine years of his life, partially spent having conversations with the young Johann Eckermann, who was thirty-one to Goethe's seventy-four, and who dedicated this time to recording Goethe's thoughts, ideas, observations and witticisms. The result is \u003ci\u003eConversations with Goethe\u003c\/i\u003e, the most direct glimpse into the Great Man's mind, revealing a gentler, more human side to him, as well as his thoughts on art, science, poetry, philosophy and the minutiae of life. \u003ci\u003eConversations of Goethe\u003c\/i\u003e is an incredibly important and enjoyable document of \"the last universal genius of the West.\" It is often compared to Boswell's \u003ci\u003eLife of Johnson\u003c\/i\u003e for its enjoyability and importance.","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380605812991,"sku":"9780241421673","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780241421673_s600x595.jpg?v=1775589805","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780241421673","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
