A masterpiece written over 60 years by the world-renowned author Goethe
Faust, the man who made a deal with the devil to obtain immutable truth and eternal pleasure.
A canon of German literature that explores the universal human spirit and embodies the core of enduring human history.

“The eternally feminine leads us up.”

As Faust was written over a period of 60 years, it contains the author Goethe's life and worldview, namely the free-spirited genius of the Sturm und Drang period and the classicist spirit that pursued Greek harmony, as well as all the experiences and insights of his long life of 80 years.

The protagonist, Faust, is a person who believes that he can reach the realm of God through his understanding of the world.
He was a man of action who sought to understand the 'power that governs the world from the center' and, for that purpose, explored both nature and human life.
Through him, Goethe shows how the conflict between God and the devil unfolds through one human being.
He experiences both the polarities of light and darkness, oscillating between transcendent will and despair, between skepticism about life and pantheistic faith.
And ultimately, with the will to pursue good, one achieves ascension to a higher realm.
Through this work, we joyfully confirm the triumph of humanity, which goes through such wandering and reaches self-realization.
─ Jeong Seo-woong, from “Work Commentary”

Don't misunderstand me.
My beloved!
Who can call on the name of God?
Who can confess,
I believe in God?
Just because I feel it in my heart
Who dares to say,
I don't believe in God?
He who encompasses all things,
He who preserves all things,
He loves you, me, and himself.
Isn't it encompassing and preserving?
Isn't the earth firmly laid down here?
The eternal stars exchange affectionate glances
Doesn't this come to mind?
When I look into your eyes,
Everything is rushing into your head and heart
Keeping an eternal secret
I can't seem to see it
Aren't you wandering around?
No matter how big it is, fill your heart with it.
