Faust (Abridged)

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Narrated by Samuel West, Auriol Smith, Derek Jacobi, Sean Barrett, Stephen Critchlow, Hugh Dickson, Emily Raymond, Gunnar Cauthery, Anne-Marie Piazza, Daniel Mair

Overview

Faust is one of the pillars of Western literature. This classic drama presents the story of the scholar Faust, tempted into a contract with the Devil in return for a life of sensuality and power. Enjoyment rules until Faust's emotions are stirred by a meeting with Gretchen, and the tragic outcome brings Part 1 to an end. Part 2, written much later in Goethe's life, places his eponymous hero in a variety of unexpected circumstances, causing him to reflect on humanity and its attitudes to life and death.
