Before clicking on this video, I only knew that some German guy named Goethe (had no idea how to pronounce it) had written a big book called “Faust,” about a guy who made a deal with the devil, and that it was a big influence on Nietzsche and others.

But it was a very clear, interesting, thoughtful, engaging, and highly enjoyable listen. Thank you.

It felt like I had asked a knowledgeable friend “hey, can you tell me all about that one book ‘Faust’ that people talk about a lot, written by that ‘Goth’ guy?”

I'm seventy one years old and it was only ten years ago or so of how I treated the first real girl friend started to dawn on me in its full horror. And every year it gets more vivid. I was a callous monster long before I had the consciousness to realise it. Maybe, things are different in Germany and America but I doubt it. This video is a brilliant piece of work and I thank you for it.

I've loved the German rock band Faust for three decades now and that is what piqued my interest in the character. And the word Faustian pops up everywhere in written English.

It’s way different in America, everything is better and the people are just higher quality in general. America is magic! 😊

Your summary and interpretion of Goethe's Faust was very enjoyable and captivating to listen to. You just provided a 30-year old German with the crucial bit of additional motivation and the necessary first interpretational framework to finally read this masterpiece. I was also surprised by how much of Goethe's poetic appeal is actually maintained in the english translation!

Thank you for your great work! I just subscribed to your wonderful channel.

Thank you very much for your kind words. And yes, Kaufmann's translation was refreshing compared to some others of Faust that I've read.
