(The blue case in the image is not included) Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, wrote this book initially titled "Erotica", after returning to Germany, it reflects the new vital feeling discovered during his stay in Italy, in a more pagan attitude towards social conventions and sensuality. The poems are inspired by two essential themes; classical antiquity and love, which make Rome the scene of idyllic eroticism and the perfection of the classic, hedonism and the isolation of sublime love, the joy of life and perfect love. Two hundred and fifty years after his birth, Goethe remains alive in the consciousness of artists. Proof of this are the creations of the sculptor Andreu Alfaro, a great connoisseur of the work of the German writer, to whom he has dedicated the sculpture exhibitions Goethe and our time (1989) and Walpurgisnacht (1990).
