About this book
Creators: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) and John Oxenford (1812-1877) [Translator] "Autobiography: Truth and Fiction Relating to My Life" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is an autobiography written between 1811-1833. Goethe chronicles his first twenty-six years, from childhood in Frankfurt through passionate love affairs to his departure for Weimar in 1775. Blending scientific observation, historical context, and artistic license, he deliberately selected and shaped memories—some factual, some fictional—to create a vivid portrait of his development as a poet. The title itself warns readers: this is both truth and creative fiction interwoven. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading Level: Reading ease score: 57.1 (10th to 12th grade).
