Goethes Werke: Hamburger Ausgabe In 14 Bände is a definitive collection of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's works, published by Christian Wegner Verlag in Hamburg. Widely regarded as one of the most authoritative editions of Goethe's writings, the set is divided into 14 volumes and encompasses Goethe's poetry, prose, dramatic works, autobiographical writings, and scientific studies. Dramatische Dichtungen 1 (Band 3) focuses on Goethe's dramatic works and includes two of his most iconic pieces: Faust Eine Tragödie: Faust is a cornerstone of German literature. This play tells the tragic story of Faust, a scholar who makes a pact with Mephistopheles, the devil, in his quest for ultimate knowledge and worldly pleasures. Urfaust: Written between 1772 and 1775, Urfaust is an earlier version of Faust, unpublished during Goethe's lifetime. It serves as a precursor to Faust and offers a fascinating insight into Goethe's initial conception of the story. While less polished and expansive than the final version, Urfaust is celebrated for its emotional depth and lyrical beauty. This volume from the Hamburger Ausgabe is an invaluable resource, providing not only the texts but also critical notes and commentary that illuminate Goethe's creative evolution and the historical context of these works.
