Wait, this is poetry I thought it was prose. you know, a proper novel, with a normal plot, like ''Then Faust sat down, read the terms and conditions and STILL AGREED! '' or something.
Poetry just doesn't work in the form of an audiobook. no way. So much gets lost.
I gotta take some time to get immersed into the verse. and then go back like a million times to decipher what the hell the author was trying to say with that archaic, cryptic language.
Also, I bet a lot of it gets lost in the translation. I hate reading translated poetry, but you can't speak all the languages. such a thankless task to translate it. You gotta translate the reference, teh cultural context in which the author wrote it. goood damn it, I wish I spoke kick-ass hoch deutsch, instead of my peasant hessisch a2 level shitty german: D

The erotic sensation I get both reading and listening to this is far too sensory. I absolutely adore the mindfulness of this literature as beneath eyes you can see the beauty of words flowing through your inner mind. Goethe really outstood Shakespeare in my honest opinion for no work of literature has ever tingled my spine more than Faust, all but Macbeth has shared the sweet feeling that this play seems to drag in the mood. It holds both witty touches of humor in an explainable sarcastic tone. Bravo to say the least.

Not gonna lie. some of this recording is ROUGH. That said, I’m so grateful to the librivox volunteers for preserving this work in audio format. Most people probably don’t care to think about all of the time and energy that gets put into stuff like this. Could it have been better quality Yes. but it’s free so be grateful and stfu. :)

Mephistopheles is LibriVox user om123 and he absolutely needs to stop volunteering to read English because he just doesn't know how to do it. His weird mispronunciations ruin this recording. If he wants to contribute, he should read literary works in his native language.

Just started this. The audio really helps me follow along, but I gotta say, I expected a story about a man falling into madness due to his hubris. I did not expect Mephisto to sass God on the first few pages lmfao

I find the differences in audio quality of the characters distracting. 1 of the characters is reading off the pages as if it was his first time through with no concept of the meaning behind the words.

The switching narrators is hard to follow because of the sound quality. Guy 1 is using a professional mic and then Keith jumps in halfway across the gymnasium like ART IS LONG AND LIFE SO SHORT!

It's always the people with the worst voices that decide to read audiobooks, what is wrong with these people, do they have inferiority complexes and are trying to prove something

When speaking clear enunciation is important. It sounds like these guys aren't 30 seconds away from a nice pot roast dinner with beer. Horrid!
