To unlock his full creative potential, Adrian Leverkühn makes a lethal pact with nature and intentionally contracts syphilis.
A brilliant young composer, Adrian believes that the disease-induced madness will fuel his genius. But while his music reaches new heights, his mind and morality begin to unravel. Mann's interpretation of the Faustian legend is a story of madness and sanity, genius and corruption, intellectual attainment and Germany's moral fall.
