Faust (translated Masterpiece Collection)
About This Novel
Goethe, Germany's greatest poet, occupies an important position in the history of world literature and is known as one of the four literary giants alongside Homer, Dante, and Shakespeare. "Faust" is Goethe's representative work. It is a poetic tragedy that describes the protagonist Faust's painful experience of searching for truth throughout his life. It reflects the history of the entire Europe from the Renaissance to the early 19th century, and reveals the constant struggle between the two forces of light and darkness, progress and backwardness, and science and superstition. Goethe used Faust's ambition and pursuit to express his own lofty and beautiful ideals for the future of mankind.

Fantasy stories combined with a large number of medieval epic allusions, and the annotations throughout the book are also well done.
A high-ranking doctor plunges into the world of magic. Can his life be freed from vulgar taste and reach the state of perfection?
