About this ebook

Obra da maturidade de Johann W. von Goethe, As afinidades eletivas, é uma delicada e profunda incursão por um dos temas mais complexos da vida social e amorosa. A partir do princípio químico pelo qual dois elementos agregados se separam para unir-se a dois novos elementos, Goethe constrói neste romance uma alegoria para demonstrar a determinação das forças da natureza sobre as relações no casamento e na sociedade.

Como afirma Otto Maria Carpeaux, um dos mais renomados críticos brasileiros de literatura, esse livro se consagra como "um dos primeiros romances psicológicos da literatura europeia". Trata-se de uma obra fundamental da maior personalidade literária alemã, onde a arte alcança a melhor representação dos sentimentos e da vontade humana.

    It is very important you read a good edition of this book- as it affects the translation. I read one edition almost to the end and restarted from another, and it was an entirely different experience. The one I preferred, invariably, was the one you can find for free on the "Online Library of Liberty" website. As per the novel, it was amazing. There are ups, downs, tribulations, foils, the switching of motivations and emotions, love, obsession, and overall unity of form. It is a surprising journey from inception to denouement and there is something to be garnered from each and every character. The language, indeed, at times approaches the sublime as well (as well as Odette's diary entries--aphorism in themselves) that unite the entirety of the experience together in a closely knit flashion.4.5 stars--well deserved too!

    Elective Affinities is a bit of slog (hard to tell whether that's because of the translation from German language or the inscrutableness of turn-of-the-19th-century German aristocracy), but it's also not without certain charms. If it weren't for Ottilie's observations as scattered throughout, I wouldn't have been able to finish it; she's a highly entertaining character amidst a cast of bores. Goethe has chosen pessimistic themes such as tragedy, death, and fatalism to illustrate an optimistic one, that of love. Well, the scientific or chemical attraction of love and how the laws of man regarding love and marriage are no match for laws of nature for the latter requires a conformity that may not be natural at all. I can't imagine to whom I would ever recommend this, but I'm glad I read it.
