I mentioned here that Goethe’s Faust will soon no longer be compulsory reading in most of the German secondary curriculums. But these nine minutes – courtesy of Michael Sommer and his Playmobile support cast – should very well be.
Lots of fun! And, more generally, Sommers Weltliterature to go offers an off-beat and creative introduction to some great works of literature – from ancient times to the contemporary. Mostly in German, but so cleverly constructed that even non-speakers should be able to get the gist and, if all else fails, the auto-translate works reasonably well. Potentially, also, an excellent resource for German language learners.
