"Фауст" is a tragic play written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, exploring the themes of ambition, desire, and the quest for knowledge. The story follows Dr. Faust, a scholar who, dissatisfied with his life, makes a pact with the devil, Mephistopheles, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. The play is divided into two parts, with the first focusing on Faust's relationship with Gretchen, a young woman whose life is tragically affected by his choices. The second part delves into broader philosophical themes, including the nature of humanity and the pursuit of meaning, ultimately leading to Faust's redemption.
