Description
Goethe's timeless exploration of ambition, desire, and the human condition comes to life in this masterful translation by Louis MacNeice. The duality of Faust's character, torn between striving for higher knowledge and succumbing to earthly pleasures, is captured with striking clarity, allowing modern readers to connect with this classic tale on a profound level.
Set against a backdrop of gothic themes and philosophical inquiries, the narrative unfolds through a rich tapestry of characters and moral dilemmas. With its lyrical prose and poignant reflections, this edition invites readers to ponder the cost of knowledge and the essence of true fulfillment in an ever-complex world.
