Faust

Dr. Johann Faustus - the German alchemist of the first half of the XVI century, whose glory of the Great Warlock was so grandee that People"s Molosso created a bizarre legend about him. This tradition became part of the European folklore and inspired many writers - both the period of the Renaissance and modern, - but no one managed to rise to height heights.
Faust Goethe is not just a man who sold the soul to the devil (although the writer fully retained Almost all the plot features of the legend), and the great scientist, intellectual and humanist, dreaming of the happiness of all mankind and tirelessly looking for ways to achieve it. He doubts, makes mistakes, fails, but continues his robotable work.
Faust - a work that Goethe wrote almost all his life, with all its complexity, multiplicity, with all that it reflected and antique Myths, and German folklore, and philosophical ideas of different times, and biblical plots, - amazingly fascinating reading.
And the modern reader, delving into the Faust and thinking over the meaning of life and even over the fate of all mankind, will definitely not be bored
