International Fiction
by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The scholar Faust, dissatisfied with earthly knowledge, makes a pact with the demon Mephistopheles to experience all that life offers. Goethe's monumental verse drama explores humanity's striving for meaning, the seduction of power, and the redemptive potential of love through the story of Faust's damnation and salvation. A cornerstone of Western literature that captures the Romantic spirit and eternal human restlessness.
