Description
Goethe's masterpiece, Faust, is a profound and complex work that explores the human quest for knowledge and power. Drawing from diverse cultural and historical sources, Goethe crafts a dramatic tale of one man's pact with the Devil, resulting in a rich and beautiful exploration of Western humanity's restless pursuit of progress.
This translation by Stuart Atkins presents the formal and rhythmic dexterity of Faust in present-day English, capturing the poetic variety and tonal range of the German original without resorting to archaisms or interpretive elaborations. A new introduction by David Wellbery adds depth and context to this definitive English version of a timeless masterpiece.
