«Der Urfaust» is the drama by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published by Philipp Reclam Jun Verlag GmbH in paperback (71 pages, in German).
Urfaust is the original version of Goethe's 'Faust': a verse drama that the author wrote before giving definitive form to the Faust myth. Preserved in a copy discovered in 1887, although left unfinished, it constitutes the starting point of his long engagement with the theme and has its own identity.
The edition belongs to Reclam's Universal-Bibliothek collection (no. 5273).
Aimed at students of German and readers interested in classical German literature.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a German polymath who is widely regarded as the most influential writer in the German language. His work has had a wide-ranging influence on literary, political, Christian views, and philosophical thought in the Western world from the late 18th century to the present. A poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre-director, and critic, Goethe wrote a wide range of works, including plays, poetry and aesthetic criticism, as well as treatises on botany, anatomy, and colour.
