Goethe's Faust

by Frederic P. Miller (Editor), Agnes F. Vandome, John McBrewster

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust is a tragic play in two parts: Faust. Der Tragdie erster Teil (translated as: Faust: The First Part of the Tragedy) and Faust. Der Tragdie zweiter Teil (Faust: The Second Part of the Tragedy). Although written as a closet drama, it is the play with the largest audience numbers on German-language stages. Faust is Goethe's most famous work and considered by many to be one of the greatest works of German literature. Goethe completed a preliminary version of Part One in 1806. The 1808 publication was followed by the revised 1828-1829 edition, which was the last to be edited by Goethe himself. Prior to these appeared a partial printing in 1790 of Faust, a Fragment. The earliest forms of the work, known as the Urfaust, were developed between 1772 and 1775; however, the details of that development are no longer entirely clear.

More dismal than Frankenstein.

[Samuel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tra i più grandi capolavori che io abbia mai letto. Un'opera tanto ostica quanto indimenticabile, perfetta parabola della tentazione e redenzione umana, la cui ambizione va di pari passo con quella del suo tormentato protagonista, arrivando a rielaborare un caposaldo della letteratura mondiale come l'"Iliade".

Il solenne stile di Goethe, riscontrabile fin dal simbolico inizio in cui si esprime la volontà di fare arte libera dal riscontro del pubblico, si adatta perfettamente sia alla profonda introspezione dei suoi personaggi sia alle caratteristiche ultra-terrene di cui è permeata l'intera vicenda, generando alcune delle pagine più belle su cui si possa posare l'occhio.

روحوں کی کہانی اپنے اندر کی کہانی اور انسانی بے بسی کی کہانی اور گوئٹے کا فلسفہ چونکہ اس وقت جرمن ادب فرانس سے متاثر تھا تو اسے نئی جہت فراہم کرنے والا گوئٹے ہی تو تھا۔
علامہ اقبال نے فاؤسٹ کے بارے میں لکھا تھا کہ گوئٹے پیغمبر نہیں تھا مگر پھر بھی اس نے فاؤسٹ لکھی۔
لالچ، خواہش، گناہ، اعتراف جرم کی آگ اور بے بسی یہی موضوع رہے۔
خوبصورت اور مختصر ضرور پڑھئیے ۔

overall, the experience was a fun retroanalysis into the "deal with the devil" trope. understandable how it became influential and foundational, but it is from the 16th century and very much reads like it.

Who would have known that poetry could be cool? But then again, everthing with Dr. Faustus in it ends up being cool.

Hala o dönemde bu kadar karmaşık bir kurgunun böylesine sıra dışı yazılabilmiş olmasına şaşırıyorum. Goethe bir deha. Sadece Faust için söylemiyorum. Erlköning şiirine de bir bakın derim. İnanılmaz.
