This is not a modern reprint, printondemand or facsimile copy. It is a hardcover book published with a dust jacket price of $15.00 in 1976 as a First Printing by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York. Faust Part One takes place in multiple settings, the first of which is Heaven. The demon Mephistopheles makes a bet with he says that he can lure God's favourite human being (Faust), who is striving to learn everything that can be known, away from righteous pursuits. The next scene takes place in Faust's study where Faust, despairing at the vanity of scientific, humanitarian and religious learning, turns to magic for the showering of infinite knowledge. He suspects, however, that his attempts are failing. Frustrated, he ponders suicide, but rejects it as he hears the echo of nearby Easter celebrations begin. He goes for a walk with his assistant Wagner and is followed home by a dog. In Faust's study, the dog transforms into Mephistopheles. Faust makes an arrangement with Mephistopheles will do everything that Faust wants while he is here on Earth, and in exchange Faust will serve the Devil in Hell.
