The Autobiography of Goethe: Truth and Fiction: Relating to My Life by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

sbbarnes's review against another edition

2.0

A tough read. Very tough. a) incredibly long, b) difficult to tell what is Dichtung and what is Wahrheit, c) oh my god the tangents. Like, yay, Goethe summarizes the bible. Goethe tells you about Shakespeare etc. etc.
Very helpful for literary history, very difficult to read.
