Faust

Faust: A Tragedy is a play written by the German author Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, first published in 1879. It tells the story of a man named Faust, who is dissatisfied with his life and makes a deal with the devil, Mephistopheles, to gain knowledge and power. Faust's quest for knowledge and power leads him down a path of destruction, as he becomes increasingly selfish and immoral. Along the way, he falls in love with a woman named Gretchen, but his actions ultimately lead to her tragic demise. The play is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Faust's deal with the devil and his subsequent adventures, and the second part delving deeper into his moral struggles and eventual redemption. Goethe's Faust is considered one of the greatest works of German literature and has been influential in shaping Western culture's understanding of the Faustian archetype.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
