《少年维特之烦恼》是德国十八世纪伟大的文学家、思想家约翰·歌德[1]的代表作,这部作品使歌德由德意志诗人而少年维特之烦恼成为一个世界诗人,小说风行各国,掀起一股“少年维特热”。主人公维特是一个市民出身的青年,他向往自由和平等的生活,并且希望从事一些又实际意义的工作。但是,当时的社会却充满着地位等级的偏见和鄙陋的习气。保守腐败的官场,庸俗的市民,还有傲慢的贵族,使他与周围的现实不断发生冲突。

有关可怜维特的故事,凡是我能搜集到的,我都尽力汇集在这里,供你们翻阅,我知道你们将为此而感谢我。对于他的精神和性格,你们定会深表钦佩和爱怜,对于他的命运定会洒下你们的泪水。
善良的人呀,你正体验着他那样的烦恼,那就从他的痛苦中汲取慰藉吧,倘若由于命运的播弄或自身的过错而觅不到知音,那就让这本小书做你的朋友吧。
J.W. von Goethe Thomas Carlyle and R.D. Boylan Edited by Nathen Haskell
Dole PREFACE I have carefully collected whatever I have been able to learn
of the story of poor Werther, and here present it to you , knowing that
you will thank me for it. To his spirit and character you cannot refuse
your admiration and love: to his fate you will not deny your tears.
And thou, good soul, who sufferest the same distress as he endured
once, draw comfort from his sorrows; and let this little book be thy
friend, if , owing to fortune or through thine own fault, thou canst
not find a dearer companion.
