Faust by Robert Nye
A lyrical, darkly comic retelling of the Faust legend that follows an aging scholar who, disillusioned with knowledge and longing for youth and experience, strikes a bargain with a cynical supernatural tempter; as the pact brings pleasure, fame and a doomed affair with a young woman, the narrative examines the moral and emotional consequences of bargaining away one’s soul, blending mythic episodes with contemporary wit to probe desire, art, ambition and the possibility of redemption.
