TRANSPOSED HEADS, THE V86(ISBN=9780394700861)

  The Transposed Heads
  A Legend of India by Thomas Mann"The story of The Transposed Heads is at once the quintessence and the reductio ad absurdum of all love triangles."
                                                        Lionel Trilling
  "The transposed Heads is altogether delightfnl, worthy of  rank with Tonio Kr6ger or Death in Venice. It is certainly  the most charming of Mann's works. His irony has never been  more biting; it has never been more tender. Mann has never shown greater insight into love, nor greater kindness toward  humanity. The sustained lightness of tone leaves a singleness  of impression perhaps impossible to attain in longer works  of tiction  The Transposed Heads is, in short, a restatement  in parable form of Mann's intransigent faith in the human  intellect. It is also a rich and subtle analysis of the  psychology of friendship and love."
