This work briefly illustrates the literary fortune of the legend of Faust from his apparition in Volksbuch of 1587 to his re-interpretation by Thomas Mann, also mentioning reworkings in English, French and Spanish literature as well as in film, which with the start of talking pictures has led to over 160 film versions. Particular attention is paid to Goethe’s Faust, in which the theme of the goodness of Faust is emphasised, and the connected radical difference with regard to the Faust of the fifteen hundreds, that is salvation and not damnation.

Abstract

This work briefly illustrates the literary fortune of the legend of Faust from his apparition in Volksbuch of 1587 to his re-interpretation by Thomas Mann, also mentioning reworkings in English, French and Spanish literature as well as in film, which with the start of talking pictures has led to over 160 film versions. Particular attention is paid to Goethe’s Faust, in which the theme of the goodness of Faust is emphasised, and the connected radical difference with regard to the Faust of the fifteen hundreds, that is salvation and not damnation.
