Doctor Faustus de Thomas Mann

Doctor Faustus

Autor Thomas Mann Traducere de H T Lowe-Porter
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 iun 1992
Thomas Mann wrote Doctor Faustus during his exile from Nazi Germany. In retrospect it seems—although he already had a long string of masterpieces to his name—that this is the novel he was born to write. Obsessively exploring the evil into which his country had fallen, Mann succeeds as only he could have in charting the dimensions of that evil; and this drama of a composer who sells his soul for the artistic power he craves has both the pertinence of history and the universality of myth. With an introdcution by T.J. Reed, this version is a translation by H.T. Lowe-Porter.

Notă biografică

Thomas Mann was born in 1875 in Germany. He was only twenty-five when his first novel, Buddenbrooks, was published. In 1924 The Magic Mountain was published, and, five years later, Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Following the rise of the Nazis to power, he left Germany for good in 1933 to live in Switzerland and then in California, where he wrote Doctor Faustus (first published in the United States in 1948). Thomas Mann died in 1955.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book is about Adrian Leverkuhn, a former theological student who has become a composer, who enters symbolically into a pact with the devil.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Why must I feel that almost all--no, all--of the devices and conventions used by art are today only fit for parody?'Adrian Leverkühn is a composer who, at terrible personal cost, makes the breakthrough from traditional art to extreme modernism and success. Creative and brilliant, he will stop at nothing to achieve greatness. Thomas Mann wrote Doctor Faustus (1947) in American exile during and just after the Second World War. A prominent and long-standing defender of democracy, he sought to understand, in cultural and intellectual terms, how Germany had succumbed to Nazism. Mann structures his story through references to the German legend of Faust and his pact with the Devil. The life of the solitary composer, an ultimately tragic figure, is recounted by his friend and biographer, who represents a sadly ineffectual humanism, and whose social activities provide a panorama of middle-class German society in the early twentieth century. Ritchie Robertson's new English translation is accompanied by detailed annotations and an introduction illuminating the themes of the novel.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
