       Goethe's epic tale of Faust has given rise to countless thousands of  stories, movies, operas and other books.  His concept of selling one's soul to the devil to achieve one's goal in life can be seen in movies such as Rosemary's Baby and stage musicals such as Damn Yankees  to name just a few instances of the theme.  Goethe came up with a timeless concept in the struggle of good versus evil and what ends one might go to reach the desired end result.

       I have just read Faust and this book is enough to put him in this list although he must be in the first ten.
