Thomas Mann's vivid, dramatic, and thought-provoking The Magic Mountain is firmly established as one of the classic epic novels of the twentieth century. Part surreal comedy, part grim tragedy, Mann's story depicts a decaying European society on the eve of the First World War.

"La montagna incantata è un fedele, complesso, esauriente ritratto della civiltà occidentale dei primi decenni del Novecento e, nella sua incantata fusione di prosa e poesia, di vastità scientifica e di arte raffinata, è il libro, forse, più grandioso che sia stato scritto nella prima metà del secolo."

The year is 1912 and an oblivious world is on the brink of war. Castorp’s friend Joachim Ziemssen is taking the cure and a three-week visit seems a perfect break before work begins.

Il primo grande romanzo di Thomas Mann racconta la storia di una famiglia tedesca dell'Ottocento che dopo anni di prosperità è esposta a una tragica decadenza: le basi di un patrimonio e di una potenza che sembravano incrollabili sono sgretolate da una forza ostinata e segreta. Opera di ispirazione autobiografica, questo romanzo, capolavoro della letteratura europea, esprime compiutamente la concezione estetica e politica dello scrittore tedesco, il suo rimpianto per una mitica e solida borghesia, la coscienza della crisi di un mondo e di valori.

A stunningly beautiful youth and the city of Venice set the stage for Thomas Mann’s introspective examination of erotic love and philosophical wisdom.

Publicada en 1901, Los Buddenbrook narra la decadencia de una familia burguesa alemana a lo largo del siglo XIX. En un gran fresco que va desde 1835, cuando aún se recordaban las guerras napoleónicas, hasta 1877, poco antes de la fundación del Imperio Alemán, Mann no solo captura un descenso social, sino también las fuerzas históricas que trastocaron la existencia decimonónica y alumbraron las incertidumbres de los tiempos modernos. Basada en su propia novela familiar, la historia anuncia además temas esenciales de su obra posterior.

The story of four generations of a wealthy bourgeois family in northern Germany facing the advent of modernity; in an uncertain new world, the family’s bonds and traditions begin to disintegrate. As Mann charts the Buddenbrooks’ decline from prosperity to bankruptcy, from moral and psychic soundness to sickly piety, artistic decadence, and madness, he ushers the listener into a world of stunning vitality, pieced together from births and funerals, weddings and divorces, recipes, gossip, and earthy humor.

In Thomas Mann's novella Death in Venice, a distinguished writer's holiday from the burdens of his work turns out very differently from what he expected. By means of the story, Mann explores the relationships between disciplined intellect and ungoverned passion, and between decaying age and youthful beauty, against a background that resonates today in a time of pandemics. It was first published in German (as Der Tod in Venedig) in 1912.

Esta es la historia de Hans Castorp, un joven y modesto ingeniero que llega a un sanatorio ubicado en los Alpes suizos para visitar a su primo. La estancia que preveía corta se dilata en el tiempo y acaba formando parte de esta nueva forma de vida en la que se relativiza el transcurso del tiempo. Sentado en el balcón del sanatorio y envuelto en una manta, Hans reflexiona acerca de la vida, la muerte y el amor. El resultado es una de las grandes obras maestras de la literatura universal.

Thomas Mann regarded his monumental retelling of the biblical story of Joseph as his magnum opus. He conceived of the four parts—The Stories of Jacob, Young Joseph, Joseph in Egypt, and Joseph the Provider—as a unified narrative, a "mythological novel" of Joseph's fall into slavery and his rise to be lord over Egypt. Deploying lavish, persuasive detail, Mann conjures for us the world of patriarchs and pharaohs, the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Palestine, and the universal force of human love in all its beauty, desperation, absurdity, and pain.

Thomas Mann's last great novel, first published in 1947 and now newly rendered into English by acclaimed translator John E. Woods, is a modern reworking of the Faust legend, in which Germany sells its soul to the Devil. Mann's protagonist, the composer Adrian Leverkühn, is the flower of German culture, a brilliant, isolated, overreaching figure, his radical new music a breakneck game played by art at the very edge of impossibility. In return for twenty-four years of unparalleled musical accomplishment, he bargains away his soul—and the ability to love his fellow man.
