Faust
14.99 €
Dr. Johann Faustus was a German alchemist of the first half of the 16th century, whose fame as a "great sorcerer" was so immense that popular rumor created a bizarre legend about him. This legend became part of European folklore and inspired many writers, both Renaissance and modern, but none of them managed to reach the heights of Goethe.

Goethe's Faust is not simply a man who sold his soul to the devil (although the writer retained almost all the plot features of the legend), but a great scholar, intellectual, and humanist, dreaming of the happiness of all humanity and tirelessly seeking ways to achieve it. He doubts, makes mistakes, suffers failures, but continues his ascetic work.

Faust, a work Goethe spent almost his entire life writing, is a surprisingly captivating read, despite its complexity and multifaceted nature, reflecting ancient myths, German folklore, philosophical ideas from various eras, and biblical stories.

And a modern reader, delving into Faust and pondering the meaning of life and even the fate of all humanity, will certainly not be bored.
