Doctor Faustus

More about the book

Exploring themes of ambition, knowledge, and the supernatural, this Elizabethan tragedy follows the character of Doctor Faustus, who makes a pact with the devil in exchange for magical powers. Based on German folklore, the narrative delves into Faustus's quest for greater understanding and the dire consequences of his choices. Written by Christopher Marlowe between 1589 and 1592, the play highlights the tension between Renaissance humanism and medieval morality. Two distinct versions were published later, reflecting its enduring impact.
