My Faust is one of the classic works of the French poet. Valéry develops here a personal vision of the myth of Faust in two parts that are articulated autonomously:? Lust. The Glass Lady and The Solitaire. «A certain day in 1940? explains Valéry? I caught myself speaking in two voices and let myself be carried away to write down what came. So, promptly and without plan, I confess, without caring about actions or dimensions, I outlined the acts that I offer here in two very different pieces, if they are.
The edition is completed with Dialogue of the tree, in which, based on the myth of the tree, Lucrecio and Titiro talk about reality and truth. It is a piece as brief as it is intense.
