Il Dottor Faust (English: The Doctor Faustus) is a tragedy written in 2018 [1] by the Italian poet Menotti Lerro. It is based on the mythical, German figure of Faust.
The book has been analyzed by Francesco D'Episcopo from Federico II University in the volume Menotti Lerro, Tra Drammaturgia e Narrativa (Genesi: 2019) and has been presented at the Museum of Archeology of Salerno in 2018 [2] [3] and in Vallo della Lucania in 2019.
