Features: The German poet, philosopher, and scholar Goethe, enchanted by the scenery of Italy and the classical art of Greece and Rome, traveled to Italy alone. The journey lasted for two years and had a significant impact on Goethe, marking a major turning point in his thoughts. He began to explore the infinite mysteries of nature and pursue the tranquility, simplicity, and harmony embodied in Greek and Roman art. Considered the second part of Goethe's autobiography, Italian Journey records the poet's experiences during his travels in Italy, allowing readers to understand the poet's shift towards "classicism."
