Faust: Part One (Wonders of the World S.): Pt.1

by Goethe (Author), Goethe (Author), Randall Jarrell (Translator)

Synopsis

'Let's plunge ourselves into the roar of time, The whirl of accident: may pain and pleasure, Success and failure, shift as they will - It's only action that can make a man.' Based on the fable of a man who traded his soul for superhuman powers and knowledge, FAUST became the life work of Germany's greatest poet, Goethe. It is a dramatic poem charting the life of a deeply flawed individual and his fight against despair and the nihilism of the Devil.
