The poems in the book "Suleika from the West-Eastern Divan" are perhaps the most widely read and enigmatic love work in German literature. The dialogue between the lovers Suleika and Hatem emerged from Goethe's correspondence with Marianne von Willemer, which he later referred to as a duodrama. It intertwines references to the works of the Persian poet Hafiz with the most personal messages, creating a poetic game of hide-and-seek that remains captivating to this day. With an afterword by Elisabeth Binder.
