Dr Faustus

"Fautus has it all...admiration, success, a loving family. But a careless wager with a beguiling magician threatens everything." "In a retelling of the Faustus story, a famed philosopher in his prime stakes the life of his family on the accuracy and authenticity of his magnum opus. What begins as a quest for immortality becomes an exploration of life's most important and fragile treasures."--BOOK JACKET.
