Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten is a collection of stories by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published in 1795. The novel's frame story, inspired by Boccaccio's Decameron, depicts a group of German exiles who have fled the turmoil of the French Revolution. Goethe uses this framework to explore the anxieties and tensions of a society in upheaval, focusing on the impact of war and political unrest on individual lives. The stories, told by the exiles themselves, reflect the complexities of identity, social class, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
