The Franklin Library, Franklin Center PA, 1977. Limited edition. Hardcover. Fine. "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... Mann himself was a paradox: his role as family-father was both refuge and faade; 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." [Pub. Info] Classic stories: 'A Death in Venice', 'Tonio Kroger', 'Mario and the Magician', 'Disorder and Early Sorrow', 'Felix Krull'. "The Nobel Prize in Literature 1929 was awarded to Thomas Mann "principally for his great novel, Buddenbrooks, which has won steadily increased recognition as one of the classic works of contemporary literature".
