The Sorrows of Young Werther - Paperback

by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (Author), Liberty Hardy (Introduction by)

Tennyson once said, "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Tennyson was an idiot. Because heartbreak sucks. If you're breathing, at some point in your life, love has probably bashed you over the head ... and then continued to kick you while you were down until you thought you might die. That's better?! Feeling like your heart has been shredded with a cheese grater and then set on fire - that's better? The pain of heartbreak is so massive and all-encompassing, most people believe the torment they experience over love is exclusive to them. But The Sorrows of Young Werther realistically attests to the fact that heartbreak began occurring way before you confessed your love for someone, only to have him or her remove you as a Facebook friend.
