No you're right. Faust is the man who sold his soul to the devil. Its a great book (part 1 anyway). The Devil at one point examines himself in a mirror, and is amazed at how well he is able to fit into the world of men - his cloven hooves are hidden in shoes. Very influential book in literary circles.

Nice graphic too.

this wasnt an ironic post ?
ok: the play 'faust' part one and part two was written by the (german) poet 'goethe'. say about hundred years ago. faust was a character that sold his soul to the devil.
i think in the left lower part of your image is the text 'Goethe and Faust'. thats the proof.
