Excerpt from Dramatic Works of Goethe: Comprising Faust, Iphigenia in Tauris, Torquato Tasso, Egmont
N the numerous versions of Faust which are already before the public,* and the ability with which fragments of this great poem have been rendered into English verse, it is, I believe, admitted, that no translator has yet succeeded in embody ing its entire Spirit in a metrical form. How far I have been successful in accomplishing this difficult task, I must leave others to determine; I can only say that, impelled by admiration of the Splendid poetry scattered through its pages, I have laboured diligently to render my translation a faithful reflection of the original, and if I have sometimes failed, it must not be attributed to any want of earnest endeavour.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the tumultuous journey of a man grappling with the limitations of human knowledge and the insatiable thirst for a deeper understanding of the world. The author delves into the protagonist's pursuit of knowledge across various disciplines, from philosophy and theology to medicine and law, culminating in his exploration of the occult. The narrative, set against the backdrop of the German intellectual landscape of the 18th century, navigates the tension between reason and faith, the allure of the unknown, and the search for meaning in a world often perceived as chaotic and unpredictable. The book probes themes of ambition, disillusionment, and the human desire for transcendence.

Ultimately, the book offers a profound meditation on the human condition, revealing the enduring power of curiosity and the ever-present search for truth.
