Today is Thomas Mann’s #birthday.
His novel Doctor Faustus feels strikingly modern: it is not just a novel about the past. It is a warning.
Mann shows how a gifted person — and even an entire country — can be seduced by evil and lose their soul.

CHORUS: Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight, And burnèd is Apollo's laurel bough, That sometime grew within this learnèd man. Faustus is gone.

Un uomo colto, versato in molti campi del sapere umano, stanco del limite che avverte in sè stesso e nella cultura contemporanea, desideroso di ottenere piaceri, conoscenza e potere, baratta la sua anima in cambio di ventiquattro anni durante i quali ogni suo desiderio sarà soddisfatto. Narrato da Christopher Marlowe, ecco il mito del Dottor Faust, uno dei più longevi e fecondi della cultura occidentale.

The Magic Mountain and Doctor Faustus are the two books that I will take with me when I'm allowed just one book on my desert island!
