faustus

No casual reader can handle Doctor Faustus (Thomas Mann) or the Glass beads game (Hesse) without serious effort.

Doctor Faustus for example used his deal with the devil to allow him to travel rapidly around Europe and visit famous people like the Pope.

Also, as the article j-g-faustus linked pointed, Google did something special to avoid the GPL, so JVMs that followed the usual rules won't be affected.

Sadly, no: I just imported the excel spreadsheet that's on the page j-g-faustus linked to.

I remember when I first had Othello and Marlowe's Doctor Faustus in the same semester.

Remember, Dr Faustus was not written by an atheist.

This might work also in the other direction, accessibility: Insert Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus - and voila, even a 15 year old finally can understand the book.

Doctor Faustus is such an impressive novel.

While I liked Othello a lot, I felt that Faustus was a much superior piece of literature, both in the lyrical beauty of its prose and the actual plot.

Thomas Mann: Doctor Faustus (age 72) I have randomly picked a few people from the list of Nobel Prize Laureates in Literature[1] who have made it to old age, and most of them seem to have been quite productive even then.

Regardless of the veracity for some (or all) of the details described in this article, this is really a great story on human nature -- the complexity, the subtlety, and the depth, about our humanity, all are marvelously reflected here -- in my opinion, it has more in those aspects than Chris Marlowe's Doctor Faustus or even Shakespeare's King Lear....

I read Mann's "Doctor Faustus" and it was SO rich...every sentence needs to be read 2x to be internalized.

Faustus" was written 300 years before Goethe's version.

I remember stumbling across the angelfire site for a defunct occult order (the master, “Sir Faustus” or something like that, had apparently mysteriously disappeared).

Faustus", or Wodehouses' "Psmith and Jeeves".

So while most professors obsess too much over Shakespeare, my professor spent a good couple of months on Faustus.

I know Faustus, for example, take old lyrics and write new tunes for them to change the sound.

Faustus and False Lights are another couple of bands that fit into a similar sound/style category which also have some good rurally-sourced songs.
