Yes, I read Faust.
But where to start. Faust is from the start to the end a search plus also an explanation of the truth. I read it in the German language and Goethe himself said that the highest virtue is the never ending search for wisdom, purity, compassion and love.
Goethe was a blessed writer, every word and every sentence in Faust transmits wisdom and a connection and explanation for the Truth. It is amazing, but this would take a book to just explain half of it.
