When the Nazis come to power in Germany, he willingly renounces his Communist past and deserts his wife and mistress in order to keep on performing.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e His diabolical performance as Mephistopheles in Faust proves to be the stepping-stone he yearned for: attracting the attention of Hermann Goering, it wins Hofgen an appointment as head of the State Theatre. The rewards - the respect of the public, a castle - like villa, a uplace in Berlin's highest circles - are beyond his wildest dreams. But the moral consequences of his betrayals begin to haunt him, turning his dreamworld into a nightmare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published: UK, 1995\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Publisher: Penguin Books\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLanguages: English \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Pages: 272\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 13: 9780140189186\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 10: 0140189181\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Klaus Mann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44635427635466,"sku":"","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780140189186.jpg?v=1689336752","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/mephisto","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
