Goethe’s Faust

Considered “the best translation of Faust available, this volume provides the original German text and its English counterpart on facing pages. Walter Kaufmann’s translation conveys the poetic beauty and rhythm as well as the complex depth of Goethe’s language. Includes Part One and selections from Part Two.” Although you will be able to find Faust at your library, because there are various translations, you’ll find it much easier on your student and yourself if you have our recommended version.

• Lucerna Academy families: This is an option for Year 3 Honors Rhetoric Literature students to use for their literary analysis presentation.
• Tapestry of Grace families: We do not assign the whole book, but only selections (in 1 week of Unit 1) with the goal of aiding the students’ understanding of the contrast between the Romantic worldview and the Christian one.
