This luminous, timely new translation by renowned co-translators Zsuzsanna Ozsváth and Frederick Turner, accompanied by original illustrations, brings Goethe's timeless classic to greater heights than ever before in the English language.
"Ozváth and Turner's translation gives modern readers a glimpse of what Goethe's contemporary audience must have felt upon first reading the work. The verse form rhythmically draws us along, singing to us an ancient ballad, while the characters stir our hearts with full-fledged emotions we can recognize in our everyday lives." --The Arkansas International
