Doctor Fástus. The biography of an imaginary composer, Adrian Leverkühn, told by his closest friend. A novel by Thomas Mann. Translated into Icelandic by Þorsteinn Thorarensen.
Last year, Fjölvi published Búddenbrooks, Tómas Mann's most famous novel. This year, however, his most monumental work of fiction, Doktor Fástus, is coming. It describes a fate where the Devil holds the reins. The main character, Adrian Leverkühn, sells his soul to the Devil and in return receives success, fame and fame as a great composer. But he himself is in a great spiritual war, cannot love anyone and eventually closes in on himself. Is there any hope for grace? A magnificent work of fiction where the author tackles countless questions about man and his nature, religion, ethics, and about Nazi Germany, which he condemned, as his works were banned in Germany. Without a doubt, one of the most remarkable works of fiction of the 20th century. (Bókatíðindi 2000).
