Opps! We could not found Thomas Mann, but we recommended other related books!
Mann: Two Stories
Thomas Mann, Germany's most successful writer of prose fiction, was born in 1875 and died in 1955. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929. These two stories, from Mann's middle period, concern major problems facing Germany between the wars: the first deals with the chaos of economic, social and moral values in the early twenties, and the second with the enslavement of a society by a fanatical and hypnotic dictator. In both pieces Mann's moral values are delicately pointed by his omnipresent irony.
Lübeck as a Way of Life and Thought
Degeneration of German merchant family of Lubeck, 1830 to 1870. Analogous to Galsworthy's "Forsyte Saga". For other editions, see Author Catalog.
Thomas Mann
This is the first up-to-date biography in English of Thomas Mann (1875-1955), perhaps the greatest German novelist of the twentieth century. Mann was the author of several classics of modern European fiction, including Death in Venice, The Magic Mountain, Buddenbrooks, and The Confessions of Felix Krull, Confidence Trickster, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, and a staunch opponent of Nazism (which eventually drove him intoexile). Celebrated biographer Donald Prater traces Mann's life and work, from his upbringing in Lubeck, through his years in Munich, his exile in the US, and his last years in Switzerland. He discusses Mann's relationship with his novelist brother Heinrich, his...
Thomas Mann
This vivid, sometimes tragic, and often humorous literary biography brings to life as never before the extraordinary talent and complex person who was Thomas Mann. Engrossing vignettes enable us to enter Mann's life and work from unique angles. We meet the difficult, even unsavory private man: hypochondriac and nervous, narcissistic and vainglorious, isolated and greedy for love, shy and often ungenerous. But we are also introduced to a man who lived an eventful life, was capable of great kindness, loved dogs, doted on his daughters, and listened to Jack Benny. We experience Mann's tragedy as the quintessential German forced by the rise of National Socialism first into inner exile and then i...
Thomas Mann's Short Fiction
Through a chronological examination of each piece of Thomas Mann's short fiction, this sweeping study analyzes the continuous flow of Mann's work and thus traces his emotional and intellectual development. It draws heavily on Mann's letters and diaries, and reveals the relationship of his short fiction to his major novels.
Thomas Mann's War
In Thomas Mann's War, Tobias Boes traces how the acclaimed and bestselling author became one of America's most prominent anti-fascists and the spokesperson for a German cultural ideal that Nazism had perverted. Thomas Mann, winner of the 1929 Nobel Prize in literature and author of such world-renowned novels as Buddenbrooks and The Magic Mountain, began his self-imposed exile in the United States in 1938, having fled his native Germany in the wake of Nazi persecution and public burnings of his books. Mann embraced his role as a public intellectual, deftly using his literary reputation and his connections in an increasingly global publishing industry to refute Nazi propaganda. As Boes shows, ...
Thomas Mann's Death in Venice
Study of the critical reception of one of the most famous and widely read works of modern literature. Thomas Mann's 1912 novella Death in Venice is one of the most famous and widely read texts in all of modern literature, raising such issues as beauty and decadence, eros and irony, and aesthetics and morality. The amount and variety of criticism on the work is enormous, and ranges from psychoanalytic criticism and readings inspired by Mann's own homosexuality to inquiries into the place of the novella in Mann's oeuvre, its structure and style, and its symbolism and politics. Critics have also drawn connections between the novella and works of Plato, Euripides, Goethe, Schopenhauer, Platen, W...
Mann's Magic Mountain
This is the first study of Thomas Mann's landmark German modernist novel Der Zauberberg (The Magic Mountain, 1924) that takes as its starting point the interest in Mann's book shown by non-academic readers. It is also a case study in a cluster of issues central to the interrelated fields of transnational German studies, global modernism studies, comparative literature, and reception theory: it addresses the global circulation of German modernism, popular afterlives of a canonical work, access to cultural participation, relationship between so-called 'high-brow' and 'low-brow' culture, and the limitations of traditional academic reading practices. The study intervenes in these discussions by ...
