Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This 1947 Thomas Mann novel's full title is Doctor Faustus: The Life of the German Composer Adrian Leverkühn, Told by a Friend (original: Doktor Faustus. Das Leben des deutschen Tonsetzers Adrian Leverkühn, erzählt von einem Freunde). The book is a repurposing of the Faust legend, combined with a pitiless analysis of early 20th-century German society.Seen from the viewpoint of narrator Serenus Zeitblom, the novel follows his childhood friend Adrian Leverkühn from eccentric child, to passionate, unworldly student, to sinistrally gifted composer. As a young man, Leverkühn made a fateful (though ambiguous) decision that conferred upon him musical genius, but also seemed to make him a destructive, damning force in the lives of anyone he loved from that point onward. All this takes place against the backdrop of a German culture that would end up making its own devil's deal, and meet its own fatal reckoning.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

All First Person Narrators Write Like Novelists: Zeitblom's voice is hard to separate from Mann's own usual style. | |

Accidental Public Confession | |
| Doctor Faustus / int_8513bc0f | comment |
Accidental Public Confession: At his last social appearance, Leverkühn's mind snaps and he begins a rambling, allusive public confession of his sins, just before he collapses. | |

Antiquated Linguistics | |
| Doctor Faustus / int_e1721fd1 | comment |
Antiquated Linguistics: One of Adrian's old professors favors an archaic form of German full of dialectal quirks, gnarled turns of phrase, and zesty, full-blooded epithets. Leverkühn and Zeitblom later jokingly adopt this manner of speech between themselves, and the Devil often affects it while speaking to Leverkühn. | |

Composite Character | |
| Doctor Faustus / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Leverkühn is not an Expy of any actual person, but the innovations of several real-life composers are attributed to him. For example, in the novel's universe it's Leverkühn, rather than Schoenberg, who pioneers the twelve-tone musical scale. | |
