More about the book

Exploring the complexities of art and morality, this reader's guide delves into Mann's examination of how a nation celebrated for its cultural achievements could perpetrate horrific atrocities. It highlights the juxtaposition of freedom in classical music against the oppressive nature of twelve-tone and serial music, which emerged during the Nazi regime. Through the fictional character Adrian Leverkuhn, Mann presents a provocative narrative that reflects on the darker aspects of German culture, questioning the relationship between creativity and totalitarianism.
