Byron's free-spirited lifestyle combined with his rare poetic gift to make him one of the foremost figures of the Romantic Era. This collection of his poems, richly varied in mood and content, captures the essence of his great achievement. Among the thirty-one poems included are convivial song-like poems, love poems, travel poems, humorous and satiric poems. Shorter works such as the famous "She Walks in Beauty," "Stanzas to Augusta" and "So We'll Go No More a Roving" are well represented. Also here are important longer works — "The Prisoner of Chillon," "Beppo," "The Vision of Judgment," all unabridged — and lyrics excerpted from Don Juan, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and the play Manfred. Taken together, these are poems that draw readers quickly into the passions, humors, and convictions of a poet whose life and work truly embodied the Romantic spirit.

Pobyt v cudzine v blízkosti milovaného muža a nové zážitky Anne na chvíľu prinesú pocit šťastia a radosti. Po návrate do Ruska milenci pochopia, že sa dostali na okraj spoločnosti. Anne neprinesie pokoj ani odchod na vidiek. Trápi ju strata spoločenského postavenia, bojí sa o lásku milovaného muža a trpí ustavične sa stupňujúcimi výčitkami svedomia. Uvedomuje si bezvýchodiskové postavenie a čoraz nástojčivejšie sa jej vynára myšlienka, že jediné riešenie je smrť.

Werther, mladý vzdelaný človek s dušou básnika, prichádza na vidiek a tam stretáva Lottu. Napriek tomu, že je Lotta zasnúbená, nachádza v nej spriaznenú dušu. Werther sa čoraz viac prepadá do lásky, ktorá nie je uskutočniteľná, do prudkej a neprekonateľnej vášne. Listy, ktoré píše, sú sugestívnou výpoveďou o jeho citovom živote a majú potenciál hlboko rezonovať aj vo vedomí dnešného človeka, viac ako dve storočia od prvého vydania. Celým románom čitateľa unáša Wertherova prudká láska nielen k Lotte, ale aj láska k prírode, k literatúre a predovšetkým láska k životu. Wertherov entuziazmus, prenikavá inteligencia a bohatý vnútorný život z neho robí nezabudnuteľnú postavu svetovej literatúry. Utrpenie mladého Werthera sa vo svojich časoch stalo kultovou knihou, ktorá vo svete vyvolala dovtedy nevídaný ohlas a dnes je považovaná za vrcholné dielo nemeckého romantizmu. Kniha vychádza v preklade Lindy Magáthovej a s ilustráciami Juraja Vačka.
