The legend of Faust grew up in the sixteenth century, a time of transition between medieval and modern culture in Germany. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) adapted the story of the wandering conjuror who accepts Mephistopheles's offer of a pact, selling his soul for the devil's greater knowledge; over a period of 60 years he produced one of the greatest dramatic and poetic masterpieces of European literature. David Luke's recent translation is cast in rhymed verse, following the original, it preserves the essence of Goethe's meaning without sacrifice to archaism or over-modern idiom. It is as near an `equivalent' rendering of the German as has yet been achieved.

Bored and depressed, Faust tries to take his own life and in the process calls on the Devil who sends a representative, Mephistopheles to serve Faust for a set number of years. At the end of the term however, Faust will be damned and condemned to Hell. Faust agrees and uses his cohort for a number of tasks. When he falls in love, he strives for a better life and in the end his love dies and pleads with God to save her beloved Faust's soul from eternal corruption.
