Synopsis "Los Orígenes del Doktor Faustus (in Spanish)"

"Thomas Mann solía bromear diciendo que le asaltaría la muerte cuando cumpliese los setenta años. Sin embargo, en su setenta cumpleaños Mann estaba ocupado en la redacción de una obra maestra: «Doktor Faustus». Esta es la historia de cómo la escribió.
El autor detalla en esta «obra clandestina y confesión de vida» las lecturas y materiales con los que construyó su «libro del demonio», desde su fijación con Shakespeare, Nietzsche o Goethe, a la influencia de Schönberg o Adorno.
Mann nos lleva también de la mano por los acontecimientos históricos que le rodearon en la época: el Día-D, la caída de Hitler, Hiroshima, su vida familiar, sus inseguridades, su enfermedad, su fugaz adicción a la Coca-Cola.
Una mirada íntima a la trastienda vital, creativa y emocional de un autor fundamental."

Thomas Mann

Thomas Mann (Lübeck, June 6, 1875 – Zurich, August 12, 1955) was a prominent German writer, novelist, essayist, and social critic, considered one of the great exponents of 20th century literature and awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. His work is characterized by a deep analysis of bourgeois life, the psychology of the artist, and the spiritual crisis of modern Europe, drawing inspiration from philosophical and literary currents such as those of Goethe, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer.

Mann gained international fame with his first novel, Buddenbrooks (1901), a family saga that portrays the decline of a merchant family over four generations, a work for which he received the Nobel. Other key titles in his production include The Magic Mountain (Der Zauberberg, 1924), an allegory about European society before World War I; Death in Venice (Der Tod in Venedig, 1912), considered one of his most influential novellas; and Doctor Faustus (1947), which examines German culture in the context of the rise of Nazism.

Thomas Mann's work is renowned for its symbolic richness, irony, psychological depth, and masterful exploration of the dilemmas of European culture, influencing generations of writers and readers around the world.
