Fausto. Primera parte

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Faust, Part One is a tragedy written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It is considered one of the greatest works of German literature and a classic of world literature. The play tells the story of Faust, a dissatisfied scholar who makes a pact with the devil, Mephistopheles, in order to gain knowledge and power. Faust's insatiable desire for knowledge and experience leads him into a downward spiral, as he sacrifices his soul and the well-being of others in pursuit of his goals. The play explores themes such as the nature of good and evil, the limits of human knowledge, and the consequences of one's actions.
