$The Classics Book Club \u2013 with Henry Eliot at Hatchards, Piccadilly$

Join us for this month’s Classic Book Club to discuss "The Sorrows of Young Werther" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
About this Event

Hosted by the inimitable Henry Eliot, The Classics Book Club meets on the first Thursday of each month here at Hatchards, Piccadilly.

This month's book is The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

The Sorrows of Young Werther propelled Goethe to instant fame when it first appeared in 1774. Goethe drew on his own unhappy experiences to tell the story of Werther, a young man tormented by his love for Lotte, a tender-hearted girl who is promised to someone else. Overwhelmed by his feelings, Werther begins to see only one way to escape from his anguish.

Do join us for what promises to be a fascinating evening of discussion!
