Страдания юного Вертера
In jail, Goethe turns these events into a story he calls "The Sorrows of Young Werther" and sends the manuscript to Lotte as a farewell gift. She sees its qualities and, without telling him, takes it to a publisher. Once Goethe is released from prison, his father takes him home to Frankfurt, where the book has become a sensation and the young author a celebrity.
