How Doctor Faustus made his journey through the principal and most famous lands in the world.
The History of the Damnable Life and Deserved Death of Doctor John Faustus, is the book that is the source for Christopher Marlowe's play. Chapter by chapter we will wander through the twists and turns of this story.

CW: Infanticide, anti-Catholic and Islamphobic sentiments, especially towards the end. The latter section with the problematic depiction of Islamic culture, also features a host of sexual consent issues.
Chapter Twenty-Two: How Doctor Faustus made his journey through the principal and most famous lands in the world.
