Description:
"Corngold's new translation is of the very highest quality,
punctiliously faithful to Goethe's German and sensitive to
gradations of style in this extraordinary, trail-blazing first
novel."
?J. M. Coetzee, New York Review of Books
A masterpiece of the European imagination, The Sufferings of
Young Werther is the classic strum und drang tale of
youthful angst and tragedy. The acclaimed translator Stanley
Corngold brings passion and precision to Goethe?s timeless
novel of obsessive love and madness in this magnificent new
rendition. The text is accompanied by the translator?s
introduction and is fully annotated.
Goethe's themes of unrequited love, the pain of rejection,
deepening despair, and their tragic consequences are as relevant
today as when the work was first published in 1774. This hugely
influential novel was immediately bought, printed, read, exported,
and imitated throughout Europe, and what Goethe called the novel's
"fire rockets" have continued to blaze through the centuries,
influencing, among many others, Thomas Mann and Franz Kafka. The
reader?s understanding and appreciation are enhanced by the
Norton Critical Edition?s inclusion of a rich selection of
Goethe?s letters and diary entries as well an
autobiographical excerpt and lampoons.
"Criticism" brings together seven of the most influential essays
written about The Sufferings of Young Werther over the last
fifty years. Contributors include Harry Steinhauer, Roland Barthes,
R. Ellis Dye, David Wellbery, Hans Rudolf Vaget, Dirk von
Petersdorff, and Christiane Frey and David Martyn.

Online vs Instore
Size: 40, Color: #01khaki
As to be expected, not seeing and touching before purchase. I bought three pairs of these shorts in different colors for a trip to see my son graduate from his Army National guard AIT. I would rate the overall a five based on fit, quality, and comfort. One thing that I have to mark down, is they have elastic waist bands as described! In the description pic's, they are shown with nice long tie strings. The reality of what I received is the stings are too short to tie. They were almost the same circumference as the waist band, so only able to tie in a small knot, rather than a bow. no Biggy, until it's time for the restroom. Hopefully it's self explanitory....fumbling around with a knot! waist fits as stated to my size, but add weight of wallet and cell phone, and after a few steps, they begin to slide down. Tie string a must. I will see about finding something longer, as I do like them overall!

I love them but pockets tear easily
Size: 34, Color: #01black
I love them. They look nice and they are comfortable. I bought a total of three and they're all I wear in the summer.
Unfortunately the strap pockets wear out easily. On my left pocket I store a ridge wallet and my keys. For two of my most worn pair, the strap tore up to where it no longer holds the pocket closed properly. On one of those in the same pocket, a hole ended up torn in the corner. The third one I had to throw out after it shrunk after being washed improperly (can't wash them like I did my previous shorts which I washed the same way as the rest of my clothes).
I think I'll continue to wear them, maybe even buy one more, until I find something better.

Pocket and ability to hook my speaker to
Size: 32, Color: Black, Size: 32, Color: Black
I can't believe how comfortable they are and I'm very happy with all the pockets in the shorts. I bought the black as it my favorite color but will definitely be ordering all the colors available as they can be used as dress shorts.
