Synopsis

This book provides an in-depth analysis by an unnamed author of Goethe's classic play, Faust. Originally a legend of the 16th century, the author traces the evolution of the Faust story from its origin through to Goethe's seminal contribution to the genre. Faust is emblematic of humanity's universal and often tragic struggle between our innate drive for knowledge and our limitations as finite beings, leading the author to explore themes of morality, human nature, and the power of redemption. It is a thoughtful and insightful analysis of a literary classic that has captured the human imagination for centuries.
