About The Author
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe was born in Frankfurt-am-Main in 1749. At twenty-four he wrote Goetz von Berlingen, a play which brought him national fame and established him in the Sturm und Drang movement. Goethe began work on Faust, and Egmont, another tragedy, before being invited to join the government at Weimer. He finished Faust before he died in 1832.
R.J. Hollingdale has translated eleven of Nietzsche’s books and published two books about him. He is honorary president of the British Nietzsche Society.
