Goethe's Faust IN TWO Parts

The hardcover book shows signs of wear, particularly on the spine, where there is noticeable fraying and damage. The binding is somewhat loose, reflecting its age. There is no dust jacket, and the pages exhibit typical yellowing and foxing expected from a book of this period. Despite these flaws, the text remains clear and readable.

This edition of "Goethe's Faust," translated by Anna Swanwick, was published by George Bell and Sons in London in 1886. The book is a hardcover edition, part of the classic works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, renowned for its profound exploration of human ambition and desire. This translation by Swanwick, a respected translator of the 19th century, brings Goethe's complex text into accessible English, preserving its poetic depth. The book's publication in the late 19th century places it as a significant piece for collectors interested in historical translations of classic literature. Its scarcity in this particular edition adds to its value for enthusiasts of Goethe’s work. The condition of the book reflects its age, with noticeable wear on the spine and binding, yet it remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Goethe’s masterpiece.
