A major new translation of one of the greatest dramatic-poetic
works in all of German literature
A magnificent drama shaped by themes of redemption and salvation,
"Faust" is the magnum opus of Goethe, "the last true polymath to
walk the earth" (George Eliot). As his journey continues, Faust
follows Mephistopheles through ancient Greek mythology. Deeply
smitten by the incomparably beautiful Helen of Troy, Faust marries
Helen, embodying for Goethe his "imaginative longing to join
poetically the Romantic medievalism of the Germanic West to the
classical genius of the Greeks." "Faust, Part II" even includes
eerie premonitions of such modern phenomena as inflation and the
creation of life by scientific synthesis.
