Description
Dr. Faustus is a dramatic tale of a doctor who makes a pact with the devil in exchange for knowledge and power.
The story, first published in 1600, draws inspiration from an earlier anonymous German work, which has since influenced numerous literary works, including Goethe's "Faust" and Thomas Mann's "Doktor Faustus". This legend of a man selling his soul to the devil is one of the most enduring themes in literature.
This edition brings Marlowe's version of the story to life, offering a unique perspective on the human desire for knowledge and power at any cost.
