The Transposed Heads. Thomas Mann. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. 1941. First edition. Original dust jacket. Mann retells the Indian legend from a metaphysical, yet ironic viewpoint. He strongly reacts to the axiomatic assumption that there is a dichotomy between spirit and life, mind and body. He, like many 20th century writers, felt the necessity of reshuffling the present scale of values and meanings by constantly juxtaposing them with older ones. -- source link
