Dr. Johann Faustus is a German alchemist of the first half of the XNUMXth century, whose fame as a “great warlock” was so grandiose that popular rumor created a bizarre legend about him. This tradition became part of European folklore and inspired many writers, both Renaissance and modern, but none of them managed to rise to the heights of Goethe.
Goethe's Faust is not just a man who sold his soul to the devil (although the writer completely retained almost all the plot features of the legend), but a great scientist, intellectual and humanist who dreams of the happiness of all mankind and is tirelessly looking for ways to achieve it. He doubts, makes mistakes, fails, but continues his ascetic work. "Faust" - a work that Goethe wrote almost all his life, for all its complexity, diversity, for all that it reflected ancient myths, and German folklore, and philosophical ideas of different times, and biblical stories, is surprisingly fascinating reading. And the modern reader, delving into Faust and thinking about the meaning of life and even the fate of all mankind, will definitely not be bored.
