Doctor Faustus - Thomas Mann - książka

Opis

A quintessential work of German modernism and a significant novel of the twentieth century features Adrian Leverkühn, a young composer set for greatness. He is driven by creativity and brilliance, determined to excel at any cost. In a controversial pursuit of extraordinary talent, Adrian knowingly contracts syphilis, believing that the madness it brings will elevate his creative genius. Thomas Mann's rendition of the Faust legend unfolds as a narrative centered on the themes of sanity and madness, brilliance and decay, intellectual achievement, and Germany's ethical decline. Described as possibly the greatest German novel by The New York Times, this story captivates with its profound exploration of human ambition and moral complexity, presented in the original translation by H. T. Lowe-Porter.
