Thomas Mann's last great novel, first published in 1947 and now newly rendered into English by acclaimed translator John E. Woods, is a modern reworking of the Faust legend, in which Germany sells its soul to the Devil. Mann's protagonist, the composer Adrian Leverkühn, is the flower of German culture, a brilliant, isolated, overreaching figure, his radical new music a breakneck game played by art at the very edge of impossibility. In return for twenty-four years of unparalleled musical accomplishment, he bargains away his soul—and the ability to love his fellow man.

Değişen Kafalar’da Thomas Mann, kadim bir Hint hikâyesinden yola çıkarak kimliğin en kırılgan yerini hedef alır: “Ben” dediğimiz şey, akılda mı yaşar, bedende mi? Bir kaza sonucu başlar yer değiştirir; sevgi, sadakat ve tutku ise bu beklenmedik değişimin içinde yönünü kaybeder. Aynı yüz, başka bir zihinle; aynı zihin, başka bir bedenle yaşamak zorunda kalınca, aşk bile kendi gerçeğini sorgulamaya başlar. Mann’ın ironisi, anlatının her kıvrımında hissedilir: Kahramanlar “doğru” olanı ararken, okur da bir sorunun etrafında dönüp durur. Seçim kime aittir?

Though her progeny was a hopeless romantic, the concept of a forever mate was lost on Leila. She'd gone down that path once before decades ago and was in no hurry to do it again.
