Faust: Der Tragödie erster Teil is a dramatic poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, considered one of the most significant works of German literature. The story follows the titular character, Faust, a brilliant but dissatisfied scholar who makes a pact with the devil, Mephistopheles, in exchange for worldly pleasures.
