"Mephisto" erzählt die Geschichte des Schauspielers Hendrik Höfgen, von seinen Anfängen im Hamburger Künstlertheater 1926 bis zum Jahr 1936, als es Höfgen (in manchen Zügen unverkennbar Gustaf Gründgens) zum gefeierten Star des neuen Reiches gebracht hat. Höfgen geht dafür jedoch einen Teufelspakt ein und verrät die humanen Werte, für die er einst eintrat. "Mephisto" ist ein zeitkritisches Panorama der Zustände im Dritten Reich - mit deutlich satirischen Elementen -, eine Geschichte von Anpassung und Widerstand.

The Devil, Satan, Lucifer, Mephistopheles - throughout history the Prince of Darkness, the Western world's most powerful symbol of evil, has taken many names and shapes. Jeffrey Burton Russell here chronicles the remarkable story of the Devil from antiquity to the present. While recounting how past generations have personified evil, he deepens our understanding of the ways in which people have dealt with the enduring problem of radical evil. Russell uncovers the origins of the concept of the Devil in various early cultures and then traces its evolution in Western thought from the time of the ancient Hebrews through the first centuries of the Christian era. Next he turns to the medieval view of the Devil, focusing on images found in folklore, scholastic thought, art, literature, mysticism, and witchcraft.
