Faust(III)浮士德（英文版） (English Edition)

Although fictional in literature, the legend about Faust or Faustus is based on an astrologer and alchemist who lived in the area of northern Germany in the fifteenth century. Faust or Faustus is a scholar who sells his soul to the Devil.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? 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. While Goethe’s Faust has been called the definitive 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: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, The Picture of Dorian Grey, The Phantom of the Opera/Paradise, The Devil and Daniel Webster, Damn Yankees, The Little Shop of Horrors and many more.
