Summary

A classic of World Literature, Goethe's Faust is a philosophical and poetic drama full of pathos, tragedy, satire, irony, and humor. Martin Greenberg renders not only the text's varied meters and rhymes but also its diverse tones and styles - dramatic and lyrical, reflective and farcical, pathetic and coarse, colloquial and soaring. His translations of Faust has been widely praised as the most faithful, readable, and elegant translation of Goethe's masterpiece in English. Now the Greenberg Faust has been fully updated and is available in a single volume, with an Introduction by Goethe scholar W. Daniel Wilson. -- from back cover
