Thomas Mann

$ 3.99

Thomas Mann was the greatest German novelist of the twentieth century and his early masterpieces ‘Buddenbrooks’, ‘Death in Venice’ and ‘The Magic Mountain’ earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929. His style is finely wrought, enriched by humour, symbolism and parody, providing a composition that is subtle and multi-layered. By the end of his life, Mann’s works had already acquired the status of classics both within and without Germany. His subtly structured novels and short stories constitute a persistent and imaginative enquiry into the nature of Western bourgeois culture, in which a haunting awareness of its precariousness and threatened disintegration is balanced by an appreciation for spiritual achievements. This eBook presents Mann’s complete fictional works, with numerous illustrations, rare translations appearing in digital print for the first time, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
