《浮士德》作为德国文学的经典，是歌德从青年时代一直到逝世前夕，倾其一生完成的巨著。其创作历经了歌德文学创作的四个时期：即狂飙突进时期、意大利之行及魏玛时期、与席勒合作的古典文学时期、晚年创作时期。因此，歌德的《浮士德》从“初稿”、“片断”到第一部、第二部的完成，期间，经过不断的构想和思考，完成了浮士德从个体到代表着人类整体发展的跨越，赋予了浮士德走出“小世界”，迈进“大世界”的崇高理想，从而确立了人类追求“无限”的“浮士德精神”。

歌德著的《浮士德（英文版）》 is the protagonist of a classic German legend. He is a scholar who is highly successful yet dissatisfied with his life, which leads him to make a pact with the Devil, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. The Faust legend has been the basis for many literary, artistic, cinematic,and musical works that have reinterpreted it through the ages. Faust and the adjective Faustian imply a situation in which an ambitious person surrenders moral integrity in order to achieve power and success for a delimited term.
