en Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 1988

The power and magic of the Faust story, the man who, in a pact with the Devil, trades his soul in return for a period of total knowledge and absolute power, is one of the most potent of all European myths. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) worked on this poetic drama in burst from his twenties until the end of his life. He reshaped the perpetually fascinating legend, probing the nature and process of human striving and questioning the assumed divisins between the forces of good and evil. His Faust has become a landmark in world literature.

Robert David MacDonald's translation of Faust, used in acclaimed productions in Scotland (Glasgow Citizens') and England (Lyric Hammersmith), offers access to the play in the English language for readers and playgoers alike and opens up the extraordinary range and pace of Goethe's language, rhythms, imagery and ideas, without sacrificing any of the play's humour. The Open University has adopted the translation as a set book for the course entitled 'From Enlightenment to Romanticism'.

Recenzii

"Greenberg is quite remarkable, and at his best truly brilliant, in evoking the poetic ‘feel’ of Goethe’s original. I do not believe that any other version of Faust has attempted anything quite like it."—Cyrus Hamlin, Yale University (on the earlier edition of Part One)

"Goethe’s Faust is an enigmatic and perhaps barely translatable masterpiece. Its grotesque and exuberant part 2 must be the most outrageous poem in the western canon. Martin Greenberg’s revised version conveys the outrage yet also shows again and again why the poem does stand with the major works of the western tradition."—Harold Bloom

"Greenberg has accomplished a magnificent literary feat. He has taken a great German work, until now all but inaccessible to English readers, and made it into a sparkling English poem, full of verve and wit. Greenberg's translation lives; it is done in a modern idiom but with respect for the original text; I found it a joy to read."—Irving Howe


Notă biografică

JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE (1749-1832) was a German poet, writer, scientist, statesman, and one of the greatest German literary figures. Goethe, the eldest of seven children born in a wealthy Frankfurt family, studied law at the universities of Leipzig and Strasbourg. He wrote novels and poetry, dramas, treatises on botany, and literary criticism, among which are his successful novels The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774) and Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship (1795). Early in his life, Goethe was a member of the Sturm und Drang literary movement, emphasizing free expression of emotions over the restraints of rationalism. Later, Goethe, together with Friedrich Schiller, initiated the Weimar Classicism, a cultural movement based on a synthesis of Romanticism, Classicism, and the Enlightenment.
