Excellent!,
By "oidor" (Bogotá, D.E. Colombia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Faustus: Archetypal Subtext at the Millennium (Paperback)
A great collection of essays if you want to know how the legend of Dr. Faustus from a literary and cultural standpoint. I have to say the best essay is the second one, in which a DC lawer weighs the testimony of Sernus Zeitblom, the narrator of Dr. Faustus, by Thomas Mann. If want to do a study of Dr. Faustus and are looking for bibliography, I recommend this book highly!
5.0 out of 5 stars
correction,
This review is from: Doctor Faustus: Archetypal Subtext at the Millennium (Paperback)
The product description contains a garble concerning the Campbell essay. The correct description would be that this contribution to the volume is a close reading (indeed, a lawyer's cross-examination) of Thomas Mann's classic treatment of the Faust legend, arguing that the narrator's unfavorable description of the novel's Faust figure (the composer Adrian Leverkuhn) is unreliable and that Leverkuhn is in fact a Christ figure in a world in which God is dead.
