- Abstract:
This article provides information about the book "Mario and the Magician," by Thomas Mann. To call this the story of "Mario and the Magician" is equivalent to saying that "Moby Dick" is about a mad sea captain who revengefully pursues a white whale and is at last destroyed by his quarry. This tale is brief, simple, a small fragment of life, and "Moby Dick" is as vast as the Pacific; but they are written on the same emotional level. Mann is identically obsessed: and is tortured by the metaphysical problem of evil, though Mann, writing in a psychoanalytic age, sees evil as illness, as a multiform malady.
