Part Two

I read this in one of my university English courses and I liked it. I always wanted to own Faust I. Such a great masterpiece.

I really liked Part 1 but couldn't stand Part 2. It was hard to follow what was happening, and it didn't have much to do with the book that it's supposed to be the sequel of. The dialogue was convoluted, and it was a book that revolved around Greek mythology - not what I wanted to read. It was extremely boring and a chore to get through. And I was really disappointed in the childish, Christian, fairy-tale ending.

The translation is extremely well done. The introduction is very insightful without spoiling the content of the book. I was very much moved by the translator's descriptions of Goethe's inner world and, by placing it in a historical context, it was not a bit boring, but very interesting. I love the style of translation, which was very creative, poetic, lyrical, and fluent. I read Part Two of Faust when I was in high school, but it is so refreshing to read it again at 65 with this new translation. Thank you very much.

i was really waiting for it, thanks

Just what I wanted , at a good price. THANK YOU
