The book offers the dramatic work of J.-W. Goethe "Faust", adapted (without simplifying the original text) according to the method of Ilya Frank. The uniqueness of the method lies in the fact that memorization of words and expressions occurs due to their repetition, without memorization and the need to use a dictionary. The manual promotes effective language acquisition and can serve as an addition to the curriculum. Intended for students, for those studying German on their own, as well as for anyone interested in German culture. The manual was prepared by Alexey Prokopyev. The first part of “Faust” is published without the “Dedication”, “Theatrical Introduction” and “Dream on Walpurgis Night”. Comments by N.N. are used in the footnotes to the text. Vilmont.)
