Summary: "Faust, by German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), is an academic at the end of an academic life who remains unsatisfied, yearns for more, and makes a deal with the Devil, Mephistopheles, or Mephisto in short. By Goethe's time, Faust was a real folk figure from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries-an oft-maligned magician and traveling con artist, ostensibly-whose reputation quickly reached across the English Channel as the source of Christopher Marlowe's play The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, published in 1604. Goethe's Faust is at first hardly upstanding, either, but Goethe aside, Faust maintains a position as a uniquely Western folk tale"-- Provided by publisher.
