Description
Faust Part 1 by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe In this first part of Goethe's great work, a brilliant scholar makes a pact with the devil, trading his mortal life for a moment of unparalleled glory. The devil, Mephistopheles, agrees to grant Faust's wish, but at a terrible cost: if Faust bids the moment to last, he will be bound to Mephistopheles for eternity. As Faust embarks on his new life, he wins the love of a beautiful woman, Gretchen, but his arrogance and unfulfilled desires lead him down a path of destruction. This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction by the translator, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, explanatory notes, and an addendum on the writing of Faust. With its rich and complex exploration of human nature, Faust Part 1 is a compelling tragedy that continues to appeal to readers to this day.
