Description
John E. Woods is revising our impression of Thomas Mann, masterpiece by masterpiece. The New YorkerDoctor Faustus is Manns deepest artistic gesture. . . . Finely translated by John E. Woods. The New RepublicThomas Manns last great novel, first published in 1947 and now newly rendered into English by acclaimed translator John E. Woods, is a modern reworking of the Faust legend, in which Germany sells its soul to the Devil. Manns protagonist, the composer Adrian Leverkhn, is the flower of German culture, a brilliant, isolated, overreaching figure, his radical new music a breakneck game played by art at the very edge of impossibility. In return for twentyfour years of unparalleled musical accomplishment, he bargains away his souland the ability to love his fellow man.Leverkhns life story is a brilliant allegory of the rise of the Third Reich, of Germanys renunciation of its own humanity and its embrace of ambition and nihilism. It is also Manns most profound meditation on the German geniusboth national and individualand the terrible responsibilities of the truly great artist.
