!bookworms our second bookclub reading after The Master and Margarita is Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Goethe was the German equivalent of Shakespeare and Cervantes, so translations probably don’t do justice to the original. However some translations are better than others, which ones you guys suggest?
I recommend reading about Goethe, he had a fascinating life and was probably one of the most interesting figures of his period.

I was hoping this wouldn’t win but this is the translation I have, with pictures! I won’t be buying another, I agree w
@johannesalthusius that multiple translations could make for more interesting discussion.

After Faust I’m reading that one and give a break from the bookclub. I’ll still post the threads though.
