He has taken a great German work, until now all but inaccessible to English readers, and made it into a sparkling English poem, full of verve and wit.

Martin Greenberg re-creates not only the text's varied meter and rhyme but also its diverse tones and styles--dramatic and lyrical, reflective and farcical, pathetic and coarse, colloquial and soaring. His rendition of \u003ci\u003eFaust\u003c\/i\u003e is the first faithful, readable, and elegantly written translation of Goethe's masterpiece available in English. At last, the Greenberg \u003ci\u003eFaust\u003c\/i\u003e is available in a single volume, together with a thoroughly updated translation, preface, and notes. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohann Wolfgang \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003evon Goethe\u003c\/b\u003e (1749-1832) was a German poet, novelist, playwright and politician. \u003cb\u003eMartin Greenberg\u003c\/b\u003e is best known for his translations of Goethe and von Kleist.
