Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Baron Eduard and his second wife Charlotte enjoy a quiet, humdrum existence in their opulent castle, but when he invites his friend the Captain and she invites her niece Ottilie to stay with them, their lives are turned inside out as both hosts begin to feel attracted to their guests. Using one of the chemistry theories of the time as a metaphor throughout the novel, Goethe juxtaposes social interactions with scientific principles, while illustrating the typically Romantic concern of the individual coming to terms with society.

Controversial when first published and still much critically debated today, Goethe's Elective Affinities is an early model for the modern novel.

Recenzii

The boldest and deepest novel of adultery produced by the moral culture of the West.
