The Beloved Returns
''Lotte in Weimar: The Beloved Returns'', otherwise known as ''Lotte in Weimar'' () or ''The Beloved Returns'', is a 1939 novel by Thomas Mann. It is a story written in the shadow of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; Mann developed the narrative almost as a response to Goethe's novel ''The Sorrows of Young Werther'', which is more than 150 years older than ''Lotte in Weimar''. ''Lotte in Weimar'' was first published in English in 1940. Plot summary ''The Beloved Returns'' is the story of one of Goethe's old romantic interests, a real historical figure by the name of Charlotte Kestner née Buff, who has come to Weimar to see him again after more than 40 years of separation. Goethe had romanced Charlotte when they were young, but she had already been engaged (and then married) to another man whom she truly loved. Ultimately, the romance ended unconsummated; afterwards, Goethe wrote a fictional depiction of these events, with some artistic changes, and published it under the title ''The S ...
