Johann Goethe, Germany’s icon who read the Quran, attacked the Church, and shocked the world with his defense of the Prophet Muhammad
Johann Goethe: The German genius who defied the Church, reflected on Islam and the spirit of humanity Did Johann Goethe convert to Islam before his death? Did you know Napoleon once told him, “You have killed more than I have”? Why is Goethe considered in Germany as the ideal man, embodying the essence of the German soul? He was a literary genius who astonished the entire world when he first read the Quran in German. Goethe was a unique individual, and his relationship with Islam and the Prophet of Islam was truly remarkable, while his relationship with the Church was complex and unusual. He literally said: “There is nothing like Muhammad in human history.” He ended his life with a strange act you wouldn’t imagine a German man doing—I’ll tell you about it later.

The soapbox race
The Big Leap The lights on the slab intensified, and a passage, wide open and bathed in a soft light, revealed itself before Barnabé, Léo, and Rosette. The air was pure and smelled of dew. They didn't hesitate and set off down this new avenue. Barnabé's compass, surprisingly, calmed down. Its needle pointed straight ahead, as if it had finally found its path. The enigma of the Rhythm of Happiness was behind them, and with it, the certainty that Rosette was much more than a simple dromedary.
