I know the main theme of the story.
It is a play about this Doctor grade guy who wants to know and studies to the limits of human understanding, yet he wants to know more.

He sells his soul to a demon in exchange for absolute wisdom of the darkest and deepest secrets and motives of creation, and for god powers. The transaction is done. He now knows in life all those on the other side of the boundaries of dimensional material life do, and can do as one of them as he wishes, but he is damned forever and this gift will not fulfil him any more.

That is as far as I know. Ive only started to read it, but I have read synopses of the character, Aurelius Faust.

It seems very interesting. I cant wait to read it whole.

Goethe's Faust is an amazing play with so a great deal of depth. The Devil is a truly excellent character.

A good man, through obscurest aspiration,
Has still an instinct of the one true way.
