Rating:  Summary: A nice adaptation... Review: This seems to be a good point to enter the Faust myth for those interested. Marlowe retells Johann Spies' tale with theatrical flourish.
Rating:  Summary: Ubi desinit Philosophus, ibi incipit Medicus Review: Well i just started reading the "damn" book and I can understand why some people would not like it. I belive Mr.Mrlowe crosses lots of bridges in where words and actions overcomes one's mind, trying to forget that you are reading the name lucifer repeatedly. It is important to remember that is just a book, a well written one by the way. I am fascinated by the way he prepares you for whats coming, the small battle with the good and bad Angels its the begining of an ambitious and evil portrayal. I think that the main character is evil but somehow heroic, by the way he wants the power to defeat his foes nad defend his friends, but that is just a point of view. I am sure i will keep enjoing it untill the end, where i will come back with more and final thoughts. Joshua P.
Rating:  Summary: The devil at play Review: Well, the other reviews seem to talk about German legend, Goethe, spying, and being stabbed in a pub, so I'll skip all that. I'll just say that this is one of my favorite plays. Here's an idea: why not order ten or so copies of this very reasonably-priced play and have your friends over for a Dr. Faustus party? You will need old costume dresses and some fresh fruit. It will be fun. It's better than Trivial Pursuit, anyway.
