This is an automatically translated description

This book contains a modern Ukrainian translation of the first dramatic work in European culture dedicated to the figure of the black magician Johann Faust. The author, the English poet Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593), managed to masterfully express in artistic form the key ideological problems of the Modern era - to point out the still relevant contradictions that modern people mostly do not notice due to their usual grandiosity and seeming insolubility. At the same time, the play is of undoubted interest as a work of poetic art of the pre-Shakespearean period of the English Renaissance."

The introductory article included in the translation will provide the reader with a proper introduction to the cultural and historical context of the creation of The Tragic History of Doctor Faust and will help him or her enter into a dialogue with the work, feel the play's connection with our time.
