Synopsis

In "Faust; a Tragedy, Translated from the German of Goethe," the renowned German literary giant Johann Wolfgang von Goethe explores profound themes of human desire, ambition, and the quest for knowledge. This monumental work, first published in the early 19th century, is characterized by its intricate verse and philosophical depth, merging elements of Romanticism with classical influences. Through the character of Faust, who makes a pact with Mephistopheles in pursuit of ultimate wisdom and earthly pleasures, Goethe delves into the moral dilemmas humans face when confronting the limitations of their existence, thus situating his work within the broader European context of existential inquiry and the struggle between enlightenment and superstition. Goethe, a polymath and pivotal figure of the Sturm und Drang movement, drew upon his diverse experiences in science, philosophy, and politics to craft this profound tragedy. His lifelong fascination with duality and the human spirit's aspirations is reflected in Faust's character. Goethe's own struggles with forgiveness, reconciliation, and the pursuit of self-knowledge shine through his vigilant narrative, adding layers of personal insight to the universal themes embedded in the text. "Faust" is an essential read for anyone seeking to comprehend the complexities of human nature and moral philosophy. Goethe's eloquent prose invites readers into a world where ambition can lead to both enlightenment and despair. Engaging with this tragic masterpiece is not only a literary journey but an exploration of the timeless questions that challenge humanity, making it indispensable for scholars, students, and literary enthusiasts alike.

    In New York City's Washington Square Park,  
    An old familiar war is being waged between those in power,  
    and those who refuse to conform. 
      
    Blue Jay Walker has been a street busker all his life. Traveling across countries he earns his keep by writing poems for passers-by on his worn typewriter. 
      
    In the summer of 2023 when he arrived at one of his favourite haunts for hawking poems, he was dismayed to discover the authorities had banned all artists from making their living in the park. 
      
    However the artists were not giving up their home without a fight. Inspired by their tenacity, Walker joined the fray. Sticking a proverbial flag in the ground at the center of the park he began writing what would quickly become The Longest Physical Poem Of The 21st Century. 
      
    The 240 foot scroll is a distillation of all the wandering truth he has gained along his travels, twisted through the spiraling narrative of the Vagrants and Bards who have taught him not only how to make art, but how to see the world in a different light.
