Paperback. Condition: Good. This concise yet thorough critical biography throws new light on the work of German novelist, short-story writer, essayist, social critic and philanthropist Thomas Mann. The book looks closely at how his brother Heinrich, as well as the work of philosophers, notably Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Goethe, influenced Mann?s work. Mann?s fictional worlds criticized the prevailing bourgeois order, and his first novel Buddenbrooks signalled the need for change. The Magic Mountain and Death in Venice were ground-breaking works that remain significant today. The author also investigates Mann's political views, from his anti-Nazi speeches to his anti-McCarthyist activities. This is an engaging new account of a significant German writer, which illustrates how the context of Mann?s life shaped his achievements. It will appeal to students and scholars of German literature, as well as all with an interest in the history and culture of the twentieth century.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Sixteen new, carefully focused essays on the prose works of one of the great writers of modernity.Thomas Mann is among the greatest of German prose writers, and was the first German novelist to reach a wide English-speaking readership since Goethe. Novels such as Buddenbrooks, The Magic Mountain, and Doktor Faustus attest to his mastery of subtle, distanced irony, while novellas such as Death in Venice reveal him at the height of his mastery of language. In addition to fresh insights about these best-known works of Mann, this volume treats less-often-discussed works such as Joseph and His Brothers, Lotte in Weimar, and Felix Krull, as well as his political writings and essays. Mann himself was a paradox: his role as family-father was both refuge and façade; his love of Germany was matched by his contempt for its having embraced Hitler. While in exile during the Nazi period, he functioned as the prime representative of the "good" Germany in the fight against fascism, and he has often been remembered this way in English-speaking lands. But a new view of Mann is emerging half a century after his death: a view of him as one of the great writers of a modernity understood as extending into our 21st century. This volume provides sixteen essays by American and European specialists. They demonstrate the relevance of his writings for our time, making particular use of the biographical material that is now available. Contributors: Ehrhard Bahr, Manfred Dierks, Werner Frizen, Clayton Koelb, Helmut Koopmann, Wolfgang Lederer, Hannelore Mundt, Peter Pütz, Jens Rieckmann, Hans Joachim Sandberg, Egon Schwarz, and Hans Vaget. Herbert Lehnert is Research Professor, and Eva Wessell is Lecturer in Humanities, both at the University of California, Irvine.…
