In “Faust II”, Faust awakens at an imperial court, where, with Mephisto’s help, he promises wealth and order. On a journey through ancient and mythical worlds, he encounters Helen of Troy and experiences love and loss with her. In his old age, Faust wrestles land from the sea and pursues a major construction project. Blind and close to death, he dies at the moment of completion. Mephisto demands his soul, but angels take it away from him.
