About the product Dr. Johann Faustus was a German alchemist of the first half of the 16th century, whose fame as a «great warlock» was so grand that popular rumor created a bizarre legend about him. This legend became part of European folklore and inspired many writers — both the Renaissance period and modern ones — but none of them managed to rise to the heights of Goethe. Faust Goethe is not just a man who sold his soul to the devil (although the writer completely retained almost all plot features legends), but a great scientist, intellectual and humanist, dreaming of the happiness of all mankind and tirelessly looking for ways to achieve it. He doubts, makes mistakes, suffers failures, but continues his ascetic work. «Faust» is a work that Goethe wrote almost all his life, for all its complexity, versatility, despite the fact that both ancient myths and German folklore, and philosophical ideas of different times, and biblical stories — amazingly 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 get bored.
