We are doing it. We are reading the famous initial scene from Goethe’s Faust and talking about what it means to be a magician.

Please read the Dedication, pp.64-67, the Prologue in Heaven, pp.82-91, and from The First Part of the Tragedy, the initial scene in Faust’s study, pp.92-124. If you don’t speak German, you will only read half of these pages! Congrats and condolences.

Optional: The Historical Background section of Kaufmann’s introduction, pp.12-21.
