Inhaltsangabe

A scholar reaches the limits of knowledge and bargains with Mephistopheles for experience, power, pleasure, and meaning. Faust is Goethe's monumental drama of desire and damnation, following one man's restless pursuit of more than ordinary life can give. Blending tragedy, philosophy, satire, theology, romance, and myth, Goethe transforms the old Faust legend into one of world literature's great meditations on ambition, spiritual hunger, moral risk, and redemption. From the study to the witch's kitchen, from Gretchen's tragedy to the vast symbolic landscape of Part Two, Faust remains a defining work of German literature and a powerful exploration of the human need to strive beyond limits. This edition is a strong fit for readers of classic drama, German literature, philosophical fiction, mythic literature, and enduring works about temptation, knowledge, and the soul.
