The Parable is a short philosophical work by the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The book takes the form of a conversation between a master and his disciple, in which they discuss the nature of truth, reality, and human existence.The master begins by telling a parable about a king who sends his son on a journey to find the truth. Along the way, the prince encounters various obstacles and challenges, but eventually he discovers the truth and returns to his father's kingdom.The disciple is intrigued by the parable and asks the master to explain its meaning. The master explains that the journey of the prince represents the journey of every human being in search of truth and meaning. He argues that truth is not something that can be found outside of ourselves, but rather it is something that we must discover within ourselves.Throughout the book, the master and disciple engage in a deep and thought-provoking conversation about the nature of truth, the limits of human understanding, and the importance of self-discovery. The Parable is a profound and insightful work that offers readers a new perspective on the human condition and the search for truth.1828. German poet, novelist, playwright, courtier, natural philosopher, and one of the greatest figures in Western literature. Throughout his life Goethe was interested in a variety of studies and pursuits. He made important discoveries in connection with plant and animal life, and evolved a non-Newtonian theory of the character of light, which was viewed with suspicion by scientists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
