Doctor Faustus

A masterpiece of German modernism and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century. Adrian Leverkühn is a young man destined for success.

To unlock his full creative potential, Adrian Leverkühn 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.
