Faust is Goethe's magnum opus and considered by many to be one of the greatest works of German literature. The story takes place in multiple settings, the first of which is heaven. Mephistopheles makes a bet with God – he says that he can lure God's favorite human being – Faust, who is striving to learn everything that can be known, away from righteous pursuits. Faust makes an arrangement with the devil – the devil will do everything that Faust wants while he is here on Earth, and in exchange Faust will serve the devil in Hell. In Faust, Goethe focuses on social phenomena such as psychology, history and politics, in addition to mystical and philosophical topics. Faust does not seek power through knowledge, but access to transcendent knowledge incomprehensible to the rational being. Here Goethe's mysticism asserts itself clearly.

Con frac azul y chaleco amarillo, muchos jóvenes en el reino de Prusia (actual Alemania), paseaban por las calles imitando la vestimenta del personaje en el libro sensación de la época, Las penas del joven Werther. Asimismo, la exaltación de las emociones y la trágica culminación, hacía que el suicidio fuera un fenómeno social sin precedentes… y todo por amor. Un libro que sirve de catarsis al mismo Goethe, autor de este libro, en donde traslada sus intenciones suicidas por amor a una joven. El genio de Goethe combina su habilidad y erudición con el romanticismo, movimiento que comenzaba a surgir a finales del siglo XVII en toda Europa. Decididamente un libro fundamental, tanto para la literatura universal, como para las bibliotecas de todo lector.
