Faust; a Tragedy, Translated from the German of Goethe: A Scholar's Demonic Pact in a Philosophical Verse Drama of Desire, Guilt, and Redemption - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Faust; a Tragedy presents Goethe's monumental reimagining of the scholar who, dissatisfied with the limits of human knowledge, wagers his soul in pursuit of experience, power, love, and transcendence. Moving from metaphysical prologue to domestic tragedy and visionary symbolism, the work fuses verse drama, philosophical dialogue, satire, lyric intensity, and theatrical spectacle. Rooted in the German Faustbuch tradition yet transformed by Weimar classicism and Romantic restlessness, it explores the modern crisis of striving: whether error, desire, and guilt may become instruments of spiritual enlargement. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, poet, dramatist, scientist, statesman, and central figure of German letters, devoted much of his life to Faust, revising and expanding it across decades. His wide intellectual range—classical antiquity, theology, natural science, politics, and European literature—shaped the drama's extraordinary amplitude. Goethe's own lifelong inquiry into self-cultivation, artistic freedom, and the tensions between reason and passion gives Faust its unusual authority and inward urgency. This translation is recommended to readers seeking not merely a landmark of world literature but a profound meditation on ambition, knowledge, temptation, and redemption. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find in Faust a work whose dramatic energy and philosophical depth continue to illuminate the promises and perils of the modern self.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Faust; a Tragedy, Translated from the German of Goethe' represents one of the pinnacles of Western literature, encapsulating the profound struggles of human existence through the character of Doctor Faust, who makes a pact with the Devil in a quest for ultimate knowledge and pleasure. Goethe's literary style interweaves poetic dialogue with dramatic action, employing rich symbolism and philosophical discourse that reflect the Enlightenment's quest for understanding. The work is set against the backdrop of German Romanticism, illustrating the tension between reason and emotion, the individual and society, and the eternal quest for meaning in life. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a leading figure of German literature and the Enlightenment, drew upon his diverse experiences, including his study of law, his involvement in the arts, and his deep philosophical inquiries to create this monumental work. The genesis of 'Faust' can be traced to Goethe's lifelong fascination with the themes of ambition, redemption, and the duality of human nature. It reflects a culmination of Goethe's thoughts on the human condition and his intricate exploration of morality and existential questions. This timeless tragedy is highly recommended for readers seeking a deep and thought-provoking exploration of ambition, desire, and the quest for meaning. Goethe's 'Faust' not only challenges our understanding of good and evil but also invites readers to reflect upon their own choices and the consequences that follow. A must-read for anyone interested in the complexities of human emotion and intellect. 156 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 9788027284108
