Summary: Masterpiece, chopped, and sown together
Comment: I read this book, and half way through, discovered that it was edited, with large segments missing from the original text.

The translation is excellent... although a smack too modern to be Goethe. But the editorial work done on the masterpiece is a shame. Significant parts were cut out from both parts I and II, for effect (this version was to be broadcasted over the radio).

However, for an introduction to Goethe's Faust, this is a great read. One could read this in one sitting. But for real scholarship, and those who would like an ampler fill... take a full unabridged translation.
