Black jacket fatures titles over bold red, yellow and white stripes. Translated in the original metres by Bayard Taylor. Goethe’s masterpiece and perhaps the greatest work in German literature, Faust has made the legendary German alchemist one of the central myths of the Western world. Faust, an audacious man, boldly wagering with the devil, Mephistopheles, that no magic, sensuality, experience, or knowledge can lead him to a moment he would wish to last forever. The tremendous versatility of Goethe’s genius creates some of the most beautiful passages in literature. We experience Goethe’s characteristic humor, the excitement and eroticism of the witches’ Walpurgis Night, and the moving emotion of Gretchen’s tragic fate. Faust began this work at 23, and completed it 60 years later, at 93. Printed in the United States of America. 252 pages. Insured post.. First Edition Thus. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by Clarke, Harry. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
