From the Back Cover
Part of the beautifully presented 'Wonders of the World' series. Translated by Randall Jarrell.
'But why translate Faust? Isn't a good translation of it impossible, and aren't there already fifty or so bad ones? Yes; English-speaking readers become acquainted with Faust, usually, in translations that are rhymed doggerel in a grotesque, stilted, archaic language that no one ever spoke and that no one but translators ever wrote. This is particularly unfortunate because Faust is unique. In one sense, there is nothing like it; and in another sense, everything that has come after it is like it. Spengler called Western man Faustian man, and he was right. If our world should need a tombstone, we'll be able to put on it: HERE LIES DOCTOR FAUST.' Randall Jarrell.
