The monthly event Literarium Junior seeks to communicate with students of high school age. It is linked to the themed evenings of contemporary and classical literature that take place at the Festival Theatre and the Glass Hall, and in some cases to learning materials taught in secondary schools. The event series has the open intention of providing formality-free performances, conversations, readings, shows and audience meet-and-greets to help interested high school students become more familiar with the values of Hungarian literature. Using a consumer-friendly approach, learning materials are presented in a new light to help inspire young people to become regular readers of Hungarian literature.

Faust makes a pact with the Devil. He sells his soul to escape the misery of his life on Earth. This is how we can briefly summarise Goethe's principal work. But who is Faust, exactly? And who is the Devil? László Márton, who has prepared the latest translation of Faust in Hungarian, will inform us that Faust was actually a real person, an early scientific adventurer of the Reformation. A number of old and new anecdotes, rumours and superstitions formed around the memory of this man, which then served as the background to the later Faust play, Goethe's greatest work.
