Faust. Der Tragodie zweiter Teil in funf Akten, bekannt auch als Faust II, ist die Fortsetzung von Johann Wolfgang von Goethes Faust I. Das Drama besteht aus funf Akten, die in sich abgeschlossene Inhalte haben. Erst der Bezug auf die Gesamtheit der Teile I und II stellt den Sinnzusammenhang der Tragodie her. Im Unterschied zum ersten Teil steht nicht mehr das Seelen- und Gefuhlsleben des einzelnen Menschen im Mittelpunkt, sondern die Person Faust entwickelt sich stetig weiter, wird zum sozial und geschichtlich handelnden Unternehmer, scheitert auch in dieser Rolle und vollendet sich in der politischen Vision einer freiheitlichen Weltordnung.

Johann Wolfgang Goethes klassisches Schauspiel in funf Aufzugen "Iphigenie auf Tauris" ist in mehreren Fassungen uberliefert: 1779 wurde die erste Prosafassung in Weimar uraufgefuhrt, 1780 folgte eine Versfassung in freien Rhythmen, dann eine zweite Prosafassung und 1786 die zweite, wahrend der ersten italienischen Reise fertiggestellte Fassung in Blankversen, die 1787 erstmals in Buchform erschien. Den Iphigenie-Stoff entnahm Goethe dem Drama "Iphigenie bei den Taurern" des griechischen Dramatikers Euripides. Bei Goethe vollzieht sich das dramatische Geschehen im Inneren der Personen und in den "Rededuellen". Seine Iphigenie verkorpert das Ideal der Klassik: Humanitat, Aufrichtigkeit und Unschuld. Ihre tiefe Menschlichkeit befreit nicht nur den Bruder Orest vom Wahnsinn und von der Verfolgung durch die Erinnyen, sondern sorgt auch fur einen friedlichen Abschied vom taurischen Konig Thoas.Text aus Reclams Universal-Bibliothek mit Verszahlung der gedruckten Ausgabe.

Goethe llegó al color desde el arte. Su inquietud por los efectos cromáticos como recurso artístico lo llevó a indagar incansablemente en el enigma del color y culminó en la elaboración de uno de los tratados cientificos mas importantes de la teoria del color que rebatia los postulados previos del mismisimo Newton.Este libro recoge las laminas con las que ilustro su teoria y las explicaciones que las acompañaron. Complejo y apasionante a la vez, el texto deja entrever las tensiones latentes entre sujeto y objeto, realidad y representacion, arte y ciencia, y las innumerables dicotomias que estimularon el pensamiento y la obra del autor aleman a lo largo de toda su vida.El libro se cierra con un epilogo de Jurgen Teller que detalla los viajes y episodios vitales que explican el transito de Goethe de lo poetico a lo cientifico en su teoria de los colores.

Goethes "Faust" is a tragic based on a classic German legend. Goethe wrote it in two parts (Part I in 1808, Part II in 1832), and together they revise the Faustus legend to fit with Romantic sensibilities and eighteenth-century attitudes toward earthly life and the beyond. The theme of a man selling his soul to the devil for earthly desiresfame, knowledge, wealth, powerdeveloped from a profound Christian belief in life after death. Goethe updates the legend by adding a prolonged love story, making his devil an ironic and mocking figure, and allowing Fausts soul to escape damnation.Fausts universe is one of motion and flux, one where humanity is but a part, and one in which Faust tries to find values that are permanent and dependable as his experiences bring continual transformations: from hope to despair, from lust to spirituality. He literally journeys across the world, through mystical festivals, from old age to youth, in his quest for belonging and contentment. Through all of his accomplishments, Faust remains disillusioned and bitter at his death, but for his endless striving and belief in something beyond himself, Faust is saved from damnation by Gods grace.Goethes "Faust" is a complex work of literature that is concerned with the place of humanity in the cosmos, the striving of its protagonist beyond his human confines, the implications of his going too far, and the consequences that his quest have on his community.
