Faust è il capolavoro immortale di Goethe. Scritto nel 1808, il libro si basa su una leggenda risalente al medioevo secondo cui un dotto, Faust per l'appunto, avrebbe venduto l'anima a Mefistofele in cambio dei piaceri e delle bellezze del mondo. Una storia coinvolgente che, a distanza di secoli, non smette di sorprendere per i risvolti straordinariamente umani della vicenda e delle sue connotazioni soprannaturali. Un autentico capolavoro della letteratura mondiale.

The Sorrows of Young Werther turned Goethe, previously an unknown author, into a celebrated one almost overnight. Napoleon Bonaparte considered it one of the great works of European literature, having written a Goethe-inspired soliloquy in his youth and carried Werther with him on his campaigning to Egypt. It also started the phenomenon known as the 'Werther Fever', which caused young men throughout Europe to dress in the clothing style described for Werther in the novel.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust is a tragic play in two parts. Although rarely staged in its entirety, it is the play with the largest audience numbers on German-language stages. Faust is Goethe's magnum opus and considered by many to be the greatest work of German literature.

Wilhelm goes through deep self-realisation and decides to escape his empty life of a bourgeois businessman. After a failed romance with the theatre, Wilhelm commits himself to the mysterious Tower Society. A coming-of-age tale, a story of education and disillusionment, a novel of ideas ranging across literature, philosophy and politics, a masterpiece that resists all pigeonholing.

Extrait : "Que je suis aise d'être parti ! Ah ! mon ami, qu'est-ce que le cœur de l'homme ? Te quitter, toi que j'aime, toi dont j'étais inséparable ; te quitter et être content ! Mais je sais que tu me le pardonnes. Mes autres liaisons ne semblaient-elles pas tout exprès choisies du sort pour tourmenter un cœur comme le mien ? La pauvre Léonore !"
