Goethe and the Philosopher's Stone: Symbolical Patterns in 'The Parable' and the Second Part of 'Faust' - Paperback

by Alice Raphael (Author)

Originally published in 1965, this study examines the concealed meanings in the second part of Faust. The book gives a psychological interpretation of elements of Goethe's personal life and work, which succeeds in making the man and the veiled references in his most profound work accessible to the modern reader.
