Doctor Faustus is one of the most haunting figures in literature — a scholar who sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for ultimate knowledge and power. But who was Faustus really, and what does his story say about ambition, temptation, and the human thirst for meaning? In this video, we explore the history and legacy of the man who made a deal with Lucifer.
