This fine copy of Goethe's was published between 1795-1796 and became the inspiration of an opera that continues to be performed in Europe and America.

This literary classic tells the tale of Wilhelm who undergoes a journey of self-realization. He views his life as the empty void of a businessman. The story revolves around his attempt to escape the boredom and lack of fulfillment.
