Goethe's most complex and profound work, Faust was the effort of the great poet's entire lifetime. Written over 60 years, it can be read as a document of Goethe's moral and artistic development. Faust is made available to the English reader in a completely new translation that communicates both its poetic variety and its many levels of tone. The language is present-day English, and Goethe's formal and rhythmic variety is reproduced in all its richness.

And more importantly, I enjoyed discovering the meaning this work conveys. There is this wide struggle between go...
Jako lektura prezentuje się naprawdę porządnie. Dużo rubasznego humoru, nie banalnych tekstów itp.
I read this my senior year of high school, borrowed it from my Deutsch IV teacher. We used to have German Club outings (typically bowling), and after everyone would head to Herr Schneider's house for a barbecue of some sort. I'm pretty sure I was his favourite (and not in a creepy way) because I w...
This weird, beautiful, complicated play was the work of Goethe's entire life; he wrote it over 60 years, and I doubt he was done when he died. Part II was published posthumously in 1832; it had his, uh, prehumous approval, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't have been happy to spend another ten years...
