The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus

it is an excellent book

Many parts of the text is missing, even some of the very important scenes. I don't know why they chose to cut-out or change lines from the original text unnecessarily. Please don't buy, especially if you are a student.

Print quality is not good at all

Laughable edition with notes as or more arcane than the text. Indicative of the general low quality are the numbered annotations appearing in angular brackets rather than superscript; the paucity of translations of Latin passages; no page or line numbers. To its credit, I don't think any other copy could have brought the story to life with such vividness - I do feel I've bartered a small portion of my soul for this horrid dreck, although at insufficient recompense.

Déçue, trop petite écriture, édition pas recommandée. J'ai eu du mal à déchiffrer les mots et j'ai abandonné la lecture d'un si beau classique

I loved this story. Short and Sweet, and non-contemporary. I was doing background research for the phrase "Misery loves company" (Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris) and found this dramatic work; stopped there. Very fast pace, so pay attention, and don't let the sentence structure discourage you. Re-read a few pages if you need to. I did. But who am I?

Very poor edition, as you can see Christopher Marlowe's name isn't even spelt correctly on the cover. It's extremely thin, no accompanying footnotes or introduction/background to the text. If, for example you're a student and all you're looking for is the text to highlight and scribble on then this is will be a good buy, other than that it's not going to make a great addition to your bookshelf.

My daughter really loved this book. she was very excited to get it for Christmas. It arrived timely as well
