Author Description

Excerpt from Many Colored Threads: From the Writings of Goethe Goethe had a good inheritance from both his father and his mother from the robust character of the one. And the affectionate, imaginative disposition of the other. His native capacity, and his early training, made him a precocious boy, while his life in Frankfort and his inter course with men of note, developed all his powers and increased his acquisitions. It was a fine start. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
