A professor of English and German at the University of Jena and later librarian at Weimar, Eckermann was Goethe's companion and unpaid secretary from 1823 until Goethe's death in 1832, and he actively assisted in the preparation of the definitive edition of his works, the Ausgabe letzter Hand. His Gespräche record conversations with Goethe over the last nine years of his life, documenting the poet's thoughts about drama, poetry, music, painting, philosophy, prominent figures of the day, and much else. Nietzsche famously described the Gespräche mit Goethe as 'Das beste deutsche Buch, das es gibt'. OCLC finds only one set worldwide, at the Anna Amalia Bibliothek in Weimar. The British Library holds the first volume only, and the Library of Congress the second volume, with vol.I supplied from the second edition of 1905. Goedeke IV/2, 503, ? (second edition). Language: Russian.
