About “Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre oder Die Entsagenden”

Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years, also known as The Renunciants, is the fourth novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and the sequel to Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship. It was first published in 1821, though it was originally conceived in the 1790s. A second edition was released in 1829, and it differed significantly from the first. The novel continues the story of Wilhelm Meister, a character introduced in the earlier work. Goethe wrote the book during a later period of his life, and it reflects his evolving thoughts on personal development and society. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
