Description
Faust: Part One by J. W. von Goethe In 16th-century Germany, a legend emerged of a wandering conjuror who made a pact with the devil, trading his soul for greater knowledge. This pivotal moment in European literature was masterfully crafted by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe over a period of 60 years, resulting in a dramatic and poetic masterpiece. A specially commissioned translation by David Luke has preserved the essence of Goethe's meaning, rendering the original in rhymed verse without sacrificing archaism or modern idiom. This translation is as near an equivalent rendering of the German as has been achieved, making it an ideal choice for readers seeking an authentic interpretation of the original work. Oxford World's Classics has made this work available, providing an affordable volume with a wealth of valuable features, including expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study.
