A very good copy of the Modern Library 1950 edition. The dustjacket shows wear and some chipping. Previous owner’s name is written on the front endpaper. The insides are otherwise clean. It’s a great copy of a literary classic.

Faust is known for the legend of a scholar who makes a pact with the Devil, exchanging his soul for worldly knowledge, power, and pleasure. This story, which originated from the real German Renaissance magician Johann Georg Faust, has become an enduring myth, and continues to be relevant for posing universal questions about human aspirations and limitations.
