A little more than 15 years after the extraordinary work that the illustration of Dante's Divine Comedy involved, Miquel Barceló faces a new challenge: the illustration of another great universal classic such as Goethe's Faust. new life in Barceló's watercolors: the desire for immortality, the seduction by the diabolical, the debate between eternal love and carnal passion, the insatiable craving for knowledge. Miquel Barceló thus joins the long list of creators who have enriched with their art one of the most fascinating myths that the human imagination has engendered: Marlowe, Gounod, Thomas Mann, Bulgakov, Murnau, Berlioz, Wagner, Liszt, Mahler, Schumann, Pessoa, Turgenev, Delacroix… The translation of the German classic is by Helena Cortés Gabaudan, and it is presented in a bilingual Spanish-German edition. This first volume contains 72 illustrations plus the guards, in a 240-page book, that is to say that practically a third of the book is made up of Miquel Barceló's watercolors. An exceptional work for a book called to go down in art history.
