Produktbeschreibung

"Faust" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a tragic play that explores the limits of human ambition, knowledge, and desire.

The story follows Dr. Heinrich Faust, a scholar dissatisfied with the confines of human understanding and the emptiness of intellectual pursuits. In his despair, he makes a pact with Mephistopheles, a cunning demon, trading his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. Faust's journey takes him through experiences of love, power, and temptation, most notably his tragic relationship with Gretchen, whose innocence is destroyed by his actions.

Despite moments of remorse, Faust continues to chase fulfillment through ambition and desire. In the second part of the play, he turns toward grander pursuits-political power, art, and the creation of an ideal society-yet remains restless.

Goethe's Faust is both a philosophical and poetic masterpiece, reflecting humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil, reason and passion, and the quest for ultimate purpose.

Autorenporträt

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was a German writer, poet, playwright, and thinker whose works profoundly shaped Western literature and philosophy. Born in Frankfurt am Main, he showed early talent in languages, literature, and science. Goethe studied law but soon turned to writing, gaining fame with "The Sorrows of Young Werther" (1774), a novel that captured the spirit of Romanticism. His masterpiece, "Faust," became one of the greatest works in world literature, blending philosophy, theology, and human emotion. Beyond literature, Goethe was a polymath-deeply interested in science, art, and politics. He conducted studies in botany, anatomy, and color theory, and served as a statesman in Weimar, where he influenced cultural and intellectual life. Goethe's friendship with Friedrich Schiller helped define German classicism. Goethe's legacy endures as that of a universal genius whose works explore the depths of human experience and the pursuit of truth and beauty.
