Dr. Faustus is a play written by Christopher Marlowe in the late 16th century. It tells the story of a brilliant scholar named Dr. Faustus who is dissatisfied with his life and makes a pact with the devil, selling his soul in exchange for unlimited knowledge and power. As he gains more and more power, Faustus realizes the true cost of his deal and struggles with the consequences of his actions. The play is a classic example of the Faustian bargain, and explores themes such as temptation, ambition, and the nature of evil. It is considered one of Marlowe's greatest works and a seminal piece of English literature.FAUSTUS. How am I glutted with conceit of this! Shall I make spirits fetch me what I please, Resolve me of all ambiguities, Perform what desperate enterprise I will? I'll have them fly to India for gold, Ransack the ocean for orient pearl.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
