Details
Faust, in whom contemporary man readily recognizes himself, is undoubtedly the mythical figure most often used in modern literature. He is the hero of a great number of works, but it will be Goethe who will bring to the myth its most complete reading. The first comic book adaptation of Goethe's famous play (published in 1790), Ambre and David Vandermeulen transpose one of the most important texts in Western literature into a completely breathtaking, original version in images. An eight-page notebook narrates the Faustian myth in Western literature.

Faust, en qui l'homme contemporain se reconnaît volontiers, est sans doute la figure mythique la plus souvent reprise dans la littérature moderne. Il est le héros d'un grand nombre d'ouvrages, mais ce sera Gœthe qui apportera au mythe sa lecture la plus achevée. Première adaptation en bande dessinée de la célèbre pièce de Gœthe (publiée en 1790), Ambre et David Vandermeulen transposent l'un des plus importants textes de la littérature occidentale dans une version en images inédite et totalement époustouflante. Un cahier de huit pages narre le mythe faustien dans la littérature occidentale.
