Faust I & II (Goethe : The Collected Works, Vol 2)19 reviews
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Princeton University Press, 1994

The Reviews fail to note....

+ !!!FLAME-ORBS!!!
+ It's disappointing...

The most important thing all of the reviews fail to note is that Stuart Atkins was one of the greatest Goethe scholars of the 20th century. I was fortunate enough to take his Faust course almost 40 years ago and it remains one of the high points of my university experience.

Thomas Mann

Vintage, 1996

Death and Amusement in the Mountains

+ Unique in reading experiences
+ A great book but not for flatlanders

The Magic Mountain is a renowned classic of twentieth century literature, especially German and European literature. As a book, it is moderate to easy to read, and I highly recommend the novel.
