Description

Faust: Part 2 explores the darker aspects of human desire and the consequences of making a pact with the devil. In this sequel to Faust, Goethe conjures up ancient Greek mythology, bringing forth the legendary Helen of Troy in a journey that delves into the nature of love, beauty, and redemption.

Through the lens of this eerie and thought-provoking drama, Goethe examines themes of salvation and the human condition, foreshadowing modern phenomena such as inflation and scientific discovery. This Penguin Classics edition presents an authoritative text enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
