![Faust [Première Partie]](https://d3b2n8gj62qnwr.cloudfront.net/COVERS/gutenberg_covers75k/ebook-54202.png)
1808
Translated by Philipp Albert Stapfer
A tragedy written in the early 19th century. This classic work explores profound themes of ambition, knowledge, and the human condition through its central character, Dr. Heinrich Faust, who is a scholar deeply dissatisfied with the limits of conventional knowledge and life. Driven by a desire for deeper understanding, he ultimately makes a pact with the devil, represented by Mephistopheles, in a quest for ultimate fulfillment. The opening of the tragedy introduces Faust in a somber Gothic chamber, grappling with his disillusionment with traditional academic disciplines. Feeling trapped by the confines of his knowledge and longing for something more profound, he expresses a desire to venture into magic to unlock the secrets of the universe. As he invokes spirits, he encounters a profound existential unease, realizing that his quest for enlightenment is both alluring and perilous. This intense yearning sets the stage for Faust's tragic journey and the exploration of the consequences of his choices, which is a central theme throughout the work. The beginning leaves readers intrigued by Faust's intellectual struggle and the moral implications of his quest.
