Faust: Part One

0/5 ( ratings)

Faust , by German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , is the name of the titular character and academic at the end of an academic life who remains unsatisfied, yearns for more, and makes a deal with the Devil, Mephistopheles. By Goethe's time, Faust was a real folk figure from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries—an oft-maligned magician and traveling con artist, ostensibly—whose reputation quickly reached across the English Channel as the source of Christopher Marlowe's play The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus , published in 1604. Goethe's Faust is at first hardly upstanding, either, but Goethe aside, Faust maintains a position as a uniquely Western folk tale.
