The play is divided into four acts and features a cast of puppet characters, including Faustus, Mephistopheles (the devil), and various other characters. The translation into English was done for the first time in 1893, making the play accessible to English-speaking audiences. The play is a classic tale of temptation and the consequences of making deals with the devil, and is a significant work in the literary tradition of the Faustian bargain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
