Değişen Kafalar’da Thomas Mann, kadim bir Hint hikâyesinden yola çıkarak kimliğin en kırılgan yerini hedef alır: “Ben” dediğimiz şey, akılda mı yaşar, bedende mi?

Aynı yüz, başka bir zihinle; aynı zihin, başka bir bedenle yaşamak zorunda kalınca, aşk bile kendi gerçeğini sorgulamaya başlar. Mann’ın ironisi, anlatının her kıvrımında hissedilir: Kahramanlar “doğru” olanı ararken, okur da bir sorunun etrafında dönüp durur. Seçim kime aittir?
