Dr. Faustus is a play written by Christopher Marlowe in the late 16th century. The play follows the story of a German scholar named Faustus who becomes disillusioned with his life and turns to magic and necromancy in a desperate attempt to find greater knowledge and power. He makes a deal with the devil, trading his soul for 24 years of unlimited knowledge and pleasure. As the years pass, Faustus becomes increasingly consumed by his own desires and the consequences of his actions. The play explores themes of morality, redemption, and the dangers of unchecked ambition. It is considered a classic of English literature and a masterpiece of Elizabethan drama.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.
