About the book

Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus tells the story of a brilliant scholar who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge, power and magical ability. Faustus enjoys the possibilities offered by his bargain but gradually becomes increasingly aware of the price he must pay. The play explores ambition, temptation, repentance and damnation and remains one of the great tragedies of Elizabethan drama. Faustus makes a pact with the devil, exchanging his soul for years of supernatural ability and worldly experience.
