    This book is the first major study that explores the intrinsic connection between music and myth, as Nietzsche conceived of it in The Birth of Tragedy (1872), in three great works of modern literature: Romain Rolland's Nobel Prize winning novel Jean-Christophe (1904-12), James Joyce's modernist epic Ulysses (1922) and Thomas Mann's late masterpiece Doctor Faustus (1947). Juxtaposing Nietzsche's conception of the Apollonian and Dionysian with narrative depictions of music and myth, Josh Torabi challenges the common view that the latter half of The Birth of Tragedy is of secondary importance to the first. Informed by a deep knowledge of Nietzsche's early aesthetics, the book goes on to offer a fresh and original perspective on Ulysses and Doctor Faustus, two world-famous novels that are rarely discussed together, and makes the case for the significance of Jean-Christophe, which has been unfairly neglected in the Anglophone world, despite Rolland's status as a major figure in twentieth-century intellectual and literary history. This unique study reveals new depths to the work of our most enduring writers and thinkers

    "En même temps que la civilisation et la culture s'effondraient, Thomas Mann, dans Le Docteur Faustus, roman rédigé entre 1943 et 1947, concevait le personnage du musicien Adrian Leverkühn qui, en proie aux effets du Pacte contracté avec le Diable, finit par devenir fou. La musique, la création et l'inspiration en général ne sont-elles vraiment possibles que par la médiation d'un pacte de ce type, afin de conjurer la réalité et le risque de.la stérilité en s'appropriant ainsi les pouvoirs du génie ? faisant suite aux avertissements de Nietzsche et de Freud auxquels on resta bien trop sourds, on doit se demander avec lucidité comment la musique, et avec elle la plus haute culture, peuvent s'avérer à ce point douteuses à l'égard de leurs propres exigences et prétentions. Mais la musique ne lutte-t-elle pas en son propre sein, ainsi que le fit exemplairement celle de Beethoven, dans le but d'opérer la percée, comme sous la poussée de la pensée elle-niême, vers sa plus haute et sa plus sensible destination ? A travers quelques moments décisifs du roman de Thomas Mann, l'évocation de la Heiterkeit (la "sérénité") de Mozart, La Petite Sirène d'Andersen, l'Essai sur le Théâtre de marionnettes de Kleist, et en suivant la tension au cœur de la musique de-Beethoven entre l'affirmation héroïque, la jubilation assez douteuse de l'Hymne à la Joie de la IXe Symphonie et la sobriété du XVe. Quatuor à cordes, on percevra en pensée les Lumières - qui ont historiquement échoué - se réfléchir et engager, par la grâce d'une ressource insoupçonnée, une autre promesse d'humanité et die paix."--Page 4 of cover

    THREE GREAT ARTISTS REFLECTING ON THE SPIRITUAL PURPOSE OF ART: A Study of Goethe's Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre, Keller's Der Grüne Heinrich, and Thomas Mann's Doktor Faustus; Copyright Page; Dedication; Table of Contents; Foreword; Acknowledgements; Introduction; Chapter One -- Goethe's Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre; Chapter Two -- Keller's Der Grüne Heinrich; Chapter Three -- Thomas Mann's Doktor Faustus; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index

    This work is the only study to focus on these three novels. The argument departs from previous scholarship by emphasizing the ambivalence and even, to some extent, hostility, evinced by each of the authors to aspects of modern social conditions, and by examining their discontents in detail. The study also shows a portrayal by the authors of a gradual increase in the tensions they detect in social and artistic conditions during the modern period
