A collection of the opinions, on widely varied topics, of one of the most eminent figures of literature. During the last ten years of Goethe's life, Eckermann, his secretary and friend, often met and spoke with him. He arranged his notes of these occasions into a journal format. As well as conversation, they present an informal and detailed mixture of scenes, events, and other biographical fragments related to Goethe. Including all volumes: 1, 2, and 3. “The greatest German book there is.” – Nietzsche
