In Goethe's Faust, a scholar dissatisfied with life makes a fateful pact with the demon Mephistopheles, trading his soul for knowledge, pleasure, and power. What follows is a sweeping exploration of desire, moral conflict, redemption, and the limits of human ambition.
This restored edition preserves the poetic brilliance and philosophical depth of one of world literature's greatest works while offering clarity for modern readers. Rich in symbolism and dramatic tension, the story remains a cornerstone of Romantic and philosophical literature.
Admired for centuries and foundational to European culture, Faust continues to challenge and inspire readers with its intensity and insight.
