redpilled guy here, intellectual and not german speaking

in essence it's a decent book, not too great, though. Devil comes and they agree to sell his soul but devil (beezlebob) tells him he'll regret it and so he does. conclusion = christianity is good and you should keep the white race pure

non-bait answer: it's a really rich play that that asks a ton of interesting philosophical questions (also critique of the church) and you should read it. I heard the english translation isn't to bad. And don't worry that you won't get all the ideas it's a fun play even on the surface level

doesn't give concret answers, if so only really subtle (it's a really subtle work in general) but gives you interesting ways to think about it

it is fairly simple, no worries.

One of, if not, the greatest climax of any book i've read besides The Recognitions, at the end ofmthe first act.

So? Read it again later in life you div.
