What would you give your soul to gain the world?

Faust: The Tragedy, by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, is the definitive version of the timeless legend of a man who makes a pact with the devil in his desperate search for knowledge, power, and fulfillment.

The play follows Faust, a brilliant but dissatisfied scholar, who strikes a fateful bargain with Mephistopheles: unlimited pleasure and knowledge in exchange for his soul. From dazzling court intrigues to moments of tender love and ultimate despair, Goethe weaves a drama that explores ambition, temptation, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Written over the course of Goethe's life and published in two parts, Faust is both a sweeping philosophical drama and a profound meditation on humanity's quest for meaning. It is celebrated as Germany's greatest literary achievement and a cornerstone of world literature.

With its blend of poetry, myth, philosophy, and theater, Faust remains as powerful and relevant today as when it first captivated audiences.
