""Doktor Faustus ist die Lebensgeschichte des Komponisten Adrian Leverkühn (1885-1940). Um geniale Werke zu schaffen, überschreitet er die Grenzen des Menschlichen und shcliesst um den Preis seiner Seele einen Pakt mit dem Satan, indem er sich absichtlich mit Syphilis infiziert. Die Flammen des Schöpferischen, in die er flieht, werden genährt von demselben höllischen Feuer, in dem auch Deutschland untergeht, das dem nationalsozialistischen Rausch verfallen ist."--Container."
