First published in Germany in 1587, the Faust Book told the story of Dr. Faustus, a scholar who sold his soul to the Devil for knowledge and power. Translated shortly thereafter into English, the book inspired Christopher Marlowe's masterpiece, Doctor Faustus. This edition for the general reader presents the English Faust Book with modernized spelling and punctuation. This edition also includes a selection of earlier texts documenting the life of the real Dr. Faustus and some of the ancient and medieval legends that contributed to the Faust myth--a tale that became a foundational myth for Western Civilization.
