Lesesucht

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Lesewut)

Die Lesewut (German for the reading craze) or Die Lesesucht (reading mania), are terms that describe a period in German history beginning in the eighteenth century.[1] Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther[2] and the Sturm und Drang movement are considered to have been the catalyst for this event.[citation needed]
