KHEYRI, Noval Al-Abbasi. West-eastern Diwan. Goethe as a synthesis of two poetic worlds. Conrado [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.78, pp. 153-156.  Epub 02-Fev-2021. ISSN 1990-8644.

The objective of this work is to analyze some elements that have not been debated in the work “West-Eastern Diwan”. " West-Eastern Diwan ", together with the tragedy "Faust" is one of the most difficult philosophical works of Goethe's late work. Today there is great critical literature, dissertations and monographs have been written, there are dozens of commentaries, but the mystery of this amazing book is still far from its final resolution. First, European, Russian and Azerbaijani philologists have repeatedly asked themselves: what is all the work as a whole, or rather, within the framework of what artistic course is it held? A tribute to romanticism? Somehow already in the Prologue, the poet himself indicates the presence of a "patriarchal air" of the East. Or perhaps this is Goethe's temporary departure during his turbulent youth, in the famous “Storm and Rush” era in Germany, when a romantic play of “crystal clear water” or the novel “The Suffering of Young Werther” was created. Then the poet devoted himself to a sentimental and melancholic state of mind, actively working in the same direction as Friedrich Schiller. Given the closer connection to the oriental way of life, some critics tend to regard the prologue and epilogue to West-Eastern Divan as a strange mixture of the so-called "romantic philological orientalism" in vogue in the 18th century.
