«Faust» is the tragedy by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published by Flammarion in paperback (178 pages, in French).
It opens with a wager between God and Mephistopheles: the devil will try to turn Doctor Faustus, a disillusioned scholar who craves boundless knowledge and pleasure, away from the right path. In exchange for his soul, Faustus accepts the pact. Goethe recreates the myth of the scholar who sells his soul to explore the tension between spiritual aspirations, thirst for knowledge, and earthly desires.
Translation by Gérard de Nerval, with an introduction by Jeanne Ancelet-Hustache; complete text. Number 24 in the GF Flammarion collection.
For readers of classical drama who want to read Goethe in French.
German writer, scientist and statesman, the towering figure of German-language literature and author of Faust and The Sorrows of Young Werther.
