«Faust, Part One» is the tragic drama by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (208 pages, in English).
Faust, a disillusioned scholar, makes a pact with Mephistopheles: the devil will serve him and, if Faust wishes a moment to last forever, he will surrender his soul. Rejuvenated, the pact leads him to court the young Gretchen, in a tragedy of arrogance, desire and self-deception that Goethe worked on for much of his life.
First part of the «Goethe's Faust» series (1 of 2). English translation by Philip Wayne. Work originally published in 1808.
Suitable for readers interested in the great classics of German theatre and literature, as well as for school and university use.
German writer, scientist and statesman, the towering figure of German-language literature and author of Faust and The Sorrows of Young Werther.
