內容簡介
Faust: Part One, written by the legendary German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and published in the Oxford World's Classics series, is one of the greatest masterworks of European literature. The epic drama tells the timeless story of Heinrich Faust, an aging, deeply learned scholar who becomes profoundly disillusioned with the limits of human knowledge. Desperate for ultimate truth and earthly fulfillment, he makes a fatal wager with Mephistopheles, the devil's representative: Mephistopheles will serve him in this life, but the moment Faust is so content that he wishes to stop time, his soul will belong to the devil. Featuring iconic characters, philosophical depth, and brilliant poetic verse, this masterpiece explores eternal themes of ambition, temptation, human striving, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
