«Fausto» is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's tragic drama, published by Santillana in paperback (190 pages, in Spanish).
Fausto is a scholar disillusioned with knowledge who makes a pact with Mephistopheles: the devil will fulfill his desires on Earth and, if Fausto finds a moment so full that he wants to stop it, he will surrender his soul. In this first part, the pact renews Fausto's youth and leads him to meet Gretchen, in a tragedy of arrogance, boundless desire and self-deception.
The work, whose original title is «Faust», corresponds to the first part of «Fausto»; it was originally published in 1808 and this Santillana edition is from 1999, with 190 pages.
May appeal to readers of German literary classics, literature students and fans of philosophical theater.
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.
