Georg Witkowski Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Goethe's most complex and profound work, Faust was the effort of the great poet's entire lifetime. Written over 60 years, it can be read as a document of Goethe's moral and artistic development. Faust is made available to the English reader in a completely new translation that communicates both its poetic variety and its many levels of tone. The language is present-day English, and Goethe's formal and rhythmic variety is reproduced in all its richness.

Goethe schrieb über 60 Jahre an seinem "Faust" und nannte "diese sehr ernsten Scherze" am Ende sein "Hauptgeschäft": Dabei entstand eines der großartigsten und gleichzeitig komplexesten Werke der Weltliteratur.(Amazon)
