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 \u003ci\u003elives\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e;\u003c\/i\u003e it is done in a modern idiom but with respect for the original text; I found it a joy to read.\"--Irving Howe (on the earlier edition)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A classic of world literature, Goethe's \u003ci\u003eFaust\u003c\/i\u003e is a philosophical and poetic drama full of satire, irony, humor, and tragedy. Martin Greenberg re-creates not only the text's varied meter and rhyme but also its diverse tones and styles--dramatic and lyrical, reflective and farcical, pathetic and coarse, colloquial and soaring. His rendition of \u003ci\u003eFaust\u003c\/i\u003e is the first faithful, readable, and elegantly written translation of Goethe's masterpiece available in English. At last, the Greenberg \u003ci\u003eFaust\u003c\/i\u003e is available in a single volume, together with a thoroughly updated translation, preface, and notes. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300189699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300189698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 806","brand":"Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992918065407,"sku":"9780300189698","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c14f418-e708-4e52-9b55-9bbb0a49f4b3.jpg?v=1683321527","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/faust-johann-wolfgang-von-goethe-9780300189698","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
