Doctor Faustus - Thomas Mann Eza Wolf De vonk van de verbeeldingTo unlock his full creative potential, Adrian Leverkhn makes a lethal pact with nature and intentionally contracts syphilis. A brilliant young composer, Adrian believes that the disease induced madness will fuel his genius. But while his music reaches new heights, his mind and morality begin to unravel. Mann's interpretation of the Faustian legend is a story of madness and sanity, genius and corruption, intellectual attainment and Germany's moral fall.
