"Mann's pivotal role during the Nazi period as perhaps the most eloquent spokesman for the 'other Germany' that lived in exile means that anyone studying the history of our century must begin with him. . . . These letters are literary and cultural documents that have few equals in our age."--James K.

Release: 1995
Genre: Biography & Autobiography
ISBN:

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 homosexuality, his career as aprolific essayist, and the vast achievement of his novels. But the biography devotes particular attention to Mann's political thinking and his role in the rise and fall of Hitlerism. In Mann's development from nationalistic conservatism to a vigorous humanist anti-Nazism, Prater sees a fascinatingand crucially important illustration of the 'German problem' still so much of relevance to the Europe of today. Elegantly written, and always entertaining, Thomas Mann: A Life will take its place as the major biography of Mann.
