Faust（I) 浮士德（英文版） (English Edition)

Although fictional in literature, the legend about Faust or Faustus who sells his soul to the Devil is based on an astrologer and alchemist who lived in the area of northern Germany in the fifteenth century. Though trained in theology, he turns to magic and makes a perilous deal with the Devil in which he commits his soul to eternal damnation in return for power and knowledge in this life. But he is only human, and arrogant and reckless. Can he become a true super-man, be resolute and perhaps be saved; or will he prove his human weakness and unsuitability and be damned? Is salvation possible? The earliest known published sources for the legend are the Wolfenbüttler manuscript dated about 1580-1587, and a printed chapbook, intended for popular sale dated 1587. Two famous literary works on the Faust theme are Christopher Marlowe’s The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, and Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe’s Faust. In Goethe’s Faust there is no one Faust story, instead, there are hundreds or thousands of variations on the theme in theatre, music, film, poetry, art, and literature including classics and favorites.
