Title: Goethe for all and for ever
Review: Perhaps the single best thing about this book is the collection of works in it; they're all indispensable. The book itself feels nice in your hand and the typefaces are comfortable too. Now; are the translations the best? There are no "best" translations of Goethe; are there any "best" performances of Bach's "St. Matthew Passion"? No, that's why I have three sets of Bach's masterwork. But I can tell you that after reading much of about eight different translations of "Faust," the one here ain't too shabby. Perhaps the translation of the great "Italian Journeys" is the "best" here, but the translator didn't have to make it rhyme or anything like that. So if you like Goethe, you should have this one. Full recommendation.
