Faust [part 1]. Translated Into English in the Original Metres by Goethe
"Faust [part 1]" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a tragic play published in 1808. When the Devil wagers with God that he can corrupt the striving scholar Faust, a fateful pact is sealed in blood. Mephistopheles promises to serve Faust on Earth in exchange for his soul—but only if he can offer a moment so perfect that Faust wishes to stop striving forever. What follows is a dark journey of seduction,
betrayal, and tragedy involving the innocent Gretchen, whose fate becomes entangled with Faust's dangerous bargain. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
