| Summary | "Cours familier de Littérature - Volume 21" by Alphonse de Lamartine is a collection of literary discussions written in the mid-19th century. The book primarily revolves around conversations with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, showcasing the profound intellectual engagement between Lamartine and the esteemed German poet. Through these dialogues, Lamartine reflects on the nature of genius, the fate of great literary figures, and the impact of thoughts and passions on the human experience, providing readers with a rich insight into literary philosophy. The opening portion introduces the esteemed presence of Goethe, exploring themes of admiration and critique related to his extensive body of work. Lamartine discusses the dual challenges great minds face—systematic derision from detractors and envy from rivals—as he lauds Goethe's remarkable influence on literature. The text captures Goethe's reflections on his own works, highlighting his contemplative journey through age, genius, and the essence of creation. Additionally, Lamartine emphasizes the legacy of Goethe's monumental works, like "Faust" and "Werther," setting a contemplative tone that invites readers to ponder deeper philosophical questions regarding art and existence.
