An extraordinary collection of stories from the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature - the title story, one of Mann's most political, explores the rise of facism by way of a mysterious magician in a small Italian village. Mann's short stories explore his abiding interest in the split nature of humanity and the discordance of the world it inhabits. In 'A Man and his Dog', domestic tempests are symbols of the muddle of humanity. In 'The Black Swan', the demands of intellect clash with physical desires. And in 'Mario and the Magician' a young family on holiday in Italy encounters a creepy entertainer: Cipolla, a hypnotist with a fascist-like will to control his audience. Written between 1918 and 1953, this collection shows the literary development of one of Germany's most important writers.

Mario and the Magician is one of Mann's most political stories. Mann openly criticizes fascism, a choice which later became one of the grounds for his exile to Switzerland following Hitler's rise to power. The sorcerer, Cipolla, is analogous to the fascist dictators of the era with their fiery speeches and rhetoric. The story was especially timely, considering the tensions in Europe when it was written. Stalin had just seized power in Russia, Mussolini was urging Italians to recapture the glory of the Roman Empire, and Hitler with his rhetoric were quickly gaining steam in Germany. The end of the story represents Mann's changing political views; he moved from staunch support of the Kaiser during his early life to a belief in progressive, democratic values in Europe and a desire to rid the continent of fascist influences.

Stage magic consists of improbable feats for which other practitioners may find explanations. The extraordinary quality of this story is the manner in which the author recounts the stages by which individual spectators, much of the audience, and eventually the narrator himself seem to fall under the magician's spell. Lengthy descriptive passages preface each of Cipolla's challenges; increasingly the narrator refers to more abstract problems of volition and self-control. The atmosphere is conveyed by repeated references to the audience's reactions, from disbelief to laughter to applause, and ultimately to horror. The oral sparring that precedes each test of will is reproduced at length: Peculiar features of the magician's speech, the use of quaint south Italian dialect among the audience, and Cipolla's jibes at slow and unresponsive spectators highlight the dialectical tension that develops more and more. Palpable periods of silence, when the audience is breathlessly enthralled by the magician's performance, are interspersed with descriptions of the magician's piercing hypnotic eyes and the rhythmic crackle of his whip through the air to ensure obedience. Eventually the narrator himself can only present his impressions; at some points he loses track of the precise sequence of events as he becomes transfixed by the trial of wills on the stage.
