Thomas Mann, dando fe de su exquisita prosa y tomando como base el inmortal mito de Fausto, da voz a Serenus Zeitblom, doctor en filosofía, para que relate la vida y tragedia de su amigo Adrian Leverkühn, un compositor de opera cuya obsesión por lograr la más bella de las creaciones musicales le lleva a rubricar un pacto con El Diablo, un pacto cuya gestación es descrita por Leverkühn cuando, consciente de que ha tocado a su fin el tiempo comprado con su alma, decide compartir con los suyos la desesperación espiritual que le ha reportado alcanzar el éxito profesional.
