The Works of J.W. von Goethe, Vol. XIII (in 14 volumes)

Meer over het boek

The book explores the idea that individuals shape their own destinies through their character and choices rather than being mere products of their circumstances. It emphasizes the concept of personal agency, suggesting that people possess the ability to transform their environments into vastly different outcomes, akin to an architect designing various structures from the same materials. This perspective highlights the significance of inner strength and creativity in determining one's life path.
