Fiction based on the medieval legend of Gregory, the so-called Christian Oedipus, who according to tradition occupied the papal throne as Gregory V. Mann recreates that story with elements of adventure and dark passions, in a tale about guilt, downfall and redemption, with baroque, symbolic prose and irreverent humour.

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.
