Description
Mephisto by Klaus Mann is a thought-provoking novel that echoes the concerns of our current era.
In 1930s Germany, a man's obsession with fame leads him to make Faustian choices. His performance as Mephistopheles in a production of Faust earns him a coveted appointment as head of the State Theatre, but at a terrible cost.
This Penguin Classics edition offers an authoritative text with introduction and notes by distinguished scholars, providing a nuanced understanding of Mann's exploration of morality, identity, and the human condition.
