«Doktor Faustus» is the novel by Thomas Mann, published by Editora y Distribuidora Hispano Americana in paperback format (720 pages, in Spanish).
It narrates the life of German composer Adrian Leverkühn through his friend Serenus Zeitblom, who accompanies him in his rise and fall. The story unfolds in the turbulent Germany of the twentieth century and combines the protagonist's musical education with a reflection on art and its limits. The Faust myth reappears in Leverkühn's excessive ambition and in the consequences of his pact, in a work considered one of Thomas Mann's literary peaks.
It belongs to the pocket edhasa collection, number 82. The translation from German is by Eugenio Xamar. Work originally published in 1947, in this 1992 edition.
Aimed at readers of contemporary fiction and twentieth-century classic literature, interested in novels of great depth and historical background.
Paul Thomas Mann was a German novelist, short story writer, social critic, philanthropist, essayist, and the 1929 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate. His highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas are noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modern versions of German and Biblical stories, as well as the ideas of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Arthur Schopenhauer.
