Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

"Greenberg has accomplished a magnificent literary feat. He has
taken a great German work, until now all but inaccessible to
English readers, and made it into a sparkling English poem, full of
verve and wit. Greenberg's translation lives; it is done in a
modern idiom but with respect for the original text; I found it a
joy to read."-Irving Howe (on the earlier edition) A classic of
world literature, Goethe's Faust is a philosophical and poetic
drama full of satire, irony, humor, and tragedy. Martin Greenberg
re-creates not only the text's varied meter and rhyme but also its
diverse tones and styles-dramatic and lyrical, reflective and
farcical, pathetic and coarse, colloquial and soaring. His
rendition of Faust is the first faithful, readable, and elegantly
written translation of Goethe's masterpiece available in English.
At last, the Greenberg Faust is available in a single volume,
together with a thoroughly updated translation, preface, and notes.
