About This Novel
"Faust" is based on the ancient German legend of an alchemist who sold his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge and youth. In order to seek a new life, Faust signed a contract with the devil Mephistopheles and mortgaged his soul to the devil, and the devil had to fulfill all Faust's demands. If one day Faust thinks he is satisfied, then his soul will belong to the devil. So Mephistopheles used magic to give Faust a strange experience. He tasted the joy and bitterness of love, showed his skills in governing the country, performed extraordinary feats on the battlefield, and wanted to build a paradise on earth on a beach... Just when he was intoxicated with the longing for a better future, he couldn't help but say that he was satisfied. When the devil was about to take away his soul, an angel came and saved Faust's soul. This work demonstrates the broad, profound and noble content of life, and praises the enterprising spirit of human beings' continuous self-improvement.
