Auch wenn Klaus Mann bestreitet, dass Gustav Gründgens das Vorbild für den Schauspieler Henrik Höfgen gewesen sei, sind die Übereinstimmungen doch unbestreitbar. Für den heutigen Leser spielt das Publikationsverbot für den Nymphenburger Verlag von 1966 auch keine Rolle mehr. Er kann sich ungehindert dem Genuss des Romans über den von Hermann Göring protegierten Schauspieler mit einstmaligen Sympathien für die proletarische Revolution hingeben.

"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.

In kaum einem anderen Werk Klaus Manns leuchtet seine Beobachtungsgabe so strahlend wie in dieser Autobiografie. Jahrelang mäanderte der Schriftsteller durch die Welt, erst auf einer ausgedehnten Reise mit seiner Schwester Erika, später als Exilant im Zickzackkurs durch Europa und Amerika. Er war ein Getriebener, stets auf der Suche nach dem Sinn des Lebens. Auf seinen Reisen schrieb und arbeitete er wie besessen und lernte die großen Schriftsteller seiner Zeit kennen.
