Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Goethe's great drama tells of Faust, a scholar who has mastered every branch of learning yet feels he knows nothing. In despair, he makes a wager with the devil Mephistopheles, who promises to show him every pleasure of the world. His love for the innocent Gretchen ends in tragedy. Goethe worked on Faust for most of his life, and it is the summit of German literature.
About this leather-bound edition
We cover every book in genuine leather by hand, finishing the spine with gold-tone foil titling and decorative tooling in the tradition of fine library bindings. Because each copy is made individually, small variations in leather grain and colour are a natural sign of handwork.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
