Faust: Unraveling the Great Enigma!
I’m here with my sister Sarah, and together we’ll be exploring this profound, complex, and sometimes bewildering story of a man who trades his soul in pursuit of deeper meaning. But this isn’t just a reading project—it’s a conversation about ambition, temptation, love, loss, and the eternal question: what makes a life worth living?
We’re also excited to welcome Eglund to the “Faust” discussion, who will help us set the stage with a bit of background on Goethe, the origins of the Faust legend, and why this story still resonates centuries later. Whether you’re reading along with us or just listening in, we’re so glad you’re here for the beginning of this adventure.”
