More about the book

Exploring the life of a 16th-century figure who claimed mastery over forbidden magical arts, this biography reveals the true story behind the famed legend of Faustus. Far from being a mere charlatan or devil's accomplice, he sparked scandal and controversy, rivaling miracles attributed to Jesus. The narrative takes readers through a rich historical landscape, including alchemical labs, war-torn Italy, and the Reformation in Wittenberg, providing a vivid portrayal of an era and a man whose life was as captivating as any legend.
