«Fausto» is the drama by Johann Wolfgang Goethe with a prologue by Francisco Ayala, published by Alianza in paperback (504 pages, in Spanish).
The work recreates the legend of Doctor Faustus, who makes a pact with the devil to achieve the full enjoyment of life. Goethe turns that search for the absolute into a symbol of romantic longing: disillusioned with intellect, the protagonist embraces action, though every choice brings error and pain. The volume includes the prologue by Francisco Ayala.
The work was published in two parts (1808 and 1832). This edition belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo - Literatura collection, with a translation by José Roviralta Borrell and a prologue by Francisco Ayala.
For those who enjoy European theatre classics and literature of ideas, with a prologue that frames the reading.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a German polymath who is widely regarded as the most influential writer in the German language. His work has had a wide-ranging influence on literary, political, Christian views, and philosophical thought in the Western world from the late 18th century to the present. A poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre-director, and critic, Goethe wrote a wide range of works, including plays, poetry and aesthetic criticism, as well as treatises on botany, anatomy, and colour.
