Features: This book contains four articles. The first, which is the longest, was originally published in the Europa magazine. The author has revised and expanded it. The other three articles also belong to the same theme but explore it from several different perspectives. Goethe's subject is so vast, and even a century after his death, it remains as turbulent (because the characteristic of this person's life is that once the arrow is shot, it never stops chasing the target that flees it) — the author believes that keeping the dynamic flexibility of these independent studies is more in line with the truth. This is the author's only hope to bring them closer to the unattainable malleability of the great model.
