Faust

A philosophical tragedy about the human desire for absolute knowledge. The work reveals the theme of internal conflict, free will, and moral choice.
Throughout his life, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe dedicated himself to creating "Faust" — a work that combined philosophical inquiries, folk traditions, and ancient myths. The scholar and alchemist Faust, in pursuit of truth, becomes disillusioned with science and makes a deal with Mephistopheles to know the world not through the mind, but through the senses. He is granted youth, love, and power — but what price will he pay for it?
This edition is in a classic design and is translated by N. A. Kholodkovsky, who was awarded the Pushkin Prize.
