From PBS, I also got Johannes Cabal The Necromancer and I'm dying to get into that one. It sounds like a mixture of Faust and Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Hi, Piyush! I have to agree with you about Animal Farm. A suberb piece of litterature. Man, Faust was no piece of cake for me to read. Although I wasn't too into the way it's written I did enjoy the story itself.
I too love Sirius! A great character indeed.

But, dammit, I just realized I left off of my list of top 10s Faustus, Faust , Doctor Faustus, or whatever you call him. That's a great book!

I love the story of Faust . Glad you enjoyed it.

This was a challenging, but fun read. I've never read a book quite like this before; written in poems almost, with rhyme. I found I had to read it alound to myself in order to really aprreciate the way its written and at the same time understand what was ...

My own favorite Faust illustrations are by another Clarke, Harry, in the famous limited edition by Harrap. They are somewhat out of sync with the 18th century rationalism of the play, but ...
>260: Darn, I have been reading bits and pieces of Faust in anticipation of reading The Master and Margarita. I knew it shouldn't be as enjoyable as it has been. Obviously I haven't gotten to the trippy and confusing Part 2.
>258: Part 1 of Faust is very good. Part 2 is trippy, confusing, and just generally mind-boggling.

Every year on April 30th I read the Walpurgis Night scene. I was think of doing the whole ...
Speaking of seasonal reading, I am planning a reread of Faust this spring to coincide with Walpurgis Night.
Dubrovsky was an adolescent work of Pushkins. It's a fun read and an interesting example of his developing talent and style. The Queen of Spades is great, of course. Again I will ...

Well that comment lends some insight as to why there's an excess of capitalization in my copy of Faust . Though why that remained in the English translation, I don't know.
You learn something new every day.
You guys still need a german teacher for your school? Then your pupils can read the original Goethe's Faust (still way better than the translations)
I tried to keep separate the editions which contained Urfaust . (See touchstone for one.)
Nothing you can do when people put only part of a title. You have to assume that they have the full text of what they list --- no less and no more. So if they just put Faust, that's all of Faust, but not U ...
I just found that my Faust I&II in a single volume has indeed been swept into the Reclam Universal-Bibliothek, Nr.1, Faust I work. I don't think it was like that a couple of weeks ago, but I may be wrong.
Is there something about the Reclam Universal-Bibliothek, Nr.1, Faust I that justifies it being a separate work from the other Faust part I's? Is this an abridged version?
Ok, never mind. Something definitely is rotten in the city of Weimar. That "work" is a mess. When I look at ...
