S 4.5 ‘Doktor Faustus, I presume?’ Thomas Mann pt. 1

<p><span>This episode: we can’t leave well enough alone — another literary elaboration of the Faust legend by a member of the Mann family, Thomas Mann’s </span><em>Doktor Faustus</em><span> (1947.) We discuss: why learning is actually interesting to young people, the problems with studying theology and the humanities, why the devil owns music, whether committing yourself to creative excellence always means a deal with the devil, and what you’re not allowed to say about hell. </span></p><p><span>English </span><a href="archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.463605/m…; rel="nofollow">translation</a><span> of Mann’s </span><em>Doktor Faustus</em></p><p><span>The </span><a href="youtube.com/watch?v=7I1uyxQlRSI"; rel="nofollow">“Jeremy Brett” version</a><span> of Love’s Labor’s Lost.</span></p><p><br></p>
