In this literary masterpiece, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe depicts one of the longest-lasting human relationships, that is, a couple's relationship, and the complications caused by the clash of feelings and ethics governing this relationship. He lives and writes among us. The optional kinship novel, which was called controversial by many of Goethe's contemporaries, had a significant impact on the creation of 19th and 20th-century novels. Goethe's Voluntary Kindred became the beginning of a style of storytelling in world literature, following and inspired by Goethe's novel Madame Bovary, Flaubert's Annacarnina, Tolstoy's Annacarnina, and Effie Bryst Fontane's when Thomas Mann wrote The Magic Mountain and was more engaged in Death in Venice. Bode, in search of a balance between "sense and morality", read Goethe's novel more than five times, which in his opinion is perfect for voluntary kinship.
