First Part of the Tragedy , :
Translated by Bayard Taylor Li O riVox

Faust is the protagonist of a classic German legend; a highly successful scholar, but also
dissatisfied with his life, and so makes a deal with the devil, exchanging his soul for unlimited
knowledge and worldly pleasures.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust is a tragic play in two parts. It is Goethe's most famous
work and considered by many to be one of the greatest works of German literature.

This first part of Faust is not divided into acts, but is structured as a sequence of scenes ina
variety of settings. After a dedicatory poem and a prelude in the theatre, the actual plot begins
with a prologue in Heaven and Scene 1 in Faust's study. (Introduction modified from Wikipedia)
