Faust is the protagonist of a classic German legend. He is a scholar who is highly successful yet dissatisfied with his life, so he makes a pact with the Devil, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. The Faust legend has been the basis for many...

Loosely based on Goethe's personal experiences, the novel is written mostly in the form of letters in which Werther recounts his unrequited love for a married woman. Its Sturm und Drang style, portraying the rebellion of youthful genius against conventional standards, makes it a perennial favorite with readers of every era.

A classic of world literature, Goethe’s Faust is a philosophical and poetic drama full of satire, irony, humor, and tragedy.

Goethe scrisse le Elegie Romane a Weimar fra il 1788 e il 1790, dopo il ritorno da un viaggio in Italia. Il contenuto fa supporre che il poeta abbia vissuto a Roma una intesa storia d’amore. Questa edizione, tradotta da Luigi Pirandello, riporta un ritratto dell’autore di Ugo Fleres.
