Faust — Part 1 by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Faust — Part 1" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a tragic play first published in 1808. A scholar named Dr. Faust, dissatisfied with conventional knowledge, makes a dangerous pact with Mephistopheles, an agent of the Devil. In exchange for earthly fulfillment, Faust risks his soul. The wager begins in Heaven itself, where God allows the devil to test his favorite scholar. What follows is a journey through taverns, witchcraft, and forbidden
love, as Faust pursues satisfaction and encounters the innocent Gretchen, whose fate becomes tragically entwined with his own desperate quest. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
