Publisher's Synopsis
The Second Part of Goethe's Faust is the continuation of the famous German play by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Published in 1886, it picks up where the first part left off, with Faust having made a deal with the devil, Mephistopheles, in exchange for youth and pleasure. In this second part, Faust continues his quest for knowledge and power, this time aided by a new character, Helen of Troy. Together, they travel through time and space, encountering various characters and situations that challenge their beliefs and desires. The play explores themes of redemption, morality, and the human condition, as well as Goethe's own philosophical and literary ideas.
