In der Stilistik Thomas Manns liegt dieses markant-prägnant-charmante Element, das einen sofort in seinen Bann zieht. Man sieht dadurch jede beschriebene Szene sofort bildlich vor dem geistigen Auge Gestalt annehmen und kann die Gefühle und Stimmungen der einzelnen Charaktere sehr gut nachempfinden. Die prosaischen Gemälde, die sich dabei offenbaren, präsentieren sich innerhalb ihrer literarischen Ästhetik mit Herz und Geist und entfalten dabei ihre ganz eigene Stimmung.

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.

First published in 1900, when Thomas Mann was 25, Buddenbrooks is a minutely imagined chronicle of four generations of a North German mercantile family - a work so true to life that it scandalized the author’s former neighbours in his native Lübeck.

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

For his Royal Highness Klaus Heinrich, prince of a small German duchy, life means servitude to traditional ducal functions - until he meets the independent-spirited and liberal-minded American Miss Spoelmann. During the course of his unorthodox and quixotically tender wooing, Heinrich is forced to reach into unknown depths of his personality and discover the real meaning of the word duty.

Congress is the first branch of government in the American system, write Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein, but now it is a broken branch, damaged by partisan bickering and internal rancor. The Broken Branch offers both a brilliant diagnosis of the cause of Congressional decline and a much-needed blueprint for change, from two experts who understand politics and revere our institutions, but believe that Congress has become deeply dysfunctional.

Una Venezia estiva ammorbata da una peste incombente ospita l'inquieto Gustav Aschenbach, famoso scrittore tedesco che ha costruito vita e opera sulla più ostinata fedeltà ai canoni classici dell'etica e dell'estetica. Un sottile impulso lo scuote nel momento in cui compare sulla spiaggia del Lido la spietata bellezza di Tadzio, un ragazzo polacco. Un unico gioco di sguardi, la vergogna della propria decrepitezza, la scelta di imbellettarsi per nasconderla, sono i passi che scandiscono la vicenda.

Hyperpartisanship has gridlocked the American government. Congress' approval ratings are at record lows, and both Democrats and Republicans are disgusted by the government's inability to get anything done. In It's Even Worse Than It Looks, Congressional scholars Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein present a grim picture of how party polarization and tribal politics have led Congress - and the United States - to the brink of institutional failure.

The world-famous masterpiece by Nobel laureate Thomas Mann—here in a new translation by Michael Henry Heim Published on the eve of World War I, a decade after Buddenbrooks had established Thomas Mann as a literary celebrity, Death in Venice tells the story of Gustave von Aschenbach, a...

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.

O volume traz duas novelas magistrais do jovem Thomas Mann, complementadas por ensaios do crítico Anatol Rosenfeld. A morte em Veneza (1912), aqui na tradução de Herbert Caro, é uma das novelas exemplares da moderna literatura ocidental. A história do escritor Gustav von Aschenbach, que viaja a Veneza para descansar e lá se vê hipnotizado pela beleza do jovem polonês Tadzio, mais tarde daria origem ao notável filme homônimo do diretor italiano Luchino Visconti, de 1971.

O romance fáustico de Thomas Mann em nova edição revista, com tradução de Herbert Caro e posfácio de Jorge de Almeida. Último grande romance de Thomas Mann, Doutor Fausto foi publicado em 1947. O escritor fez uma releitura moderna da lenda de Fausto, na qual a Alemanha trava um pacto com o demônio — uma brilhante alegoria à ascensão do Terceiro Reich e à renúncia do país a sua própria humanidade. O protagonista é o compositor Adrian Leverkühn, um gênio isolado da cultura alemã, que cria uma música radicalmente nova e balança as estruturas da cena artística da época.

Irritabilidade, raiva e um humor peculiarmente malicioso caracterizam as férias em família do narrador de Mário e o mágico em Torre di Venere, na Itália. A inquietação dos personagens aumentará pela presença do infausto Cipolla, um ilusionista cuja performance é aterrorizar e humilhar seu público, subjugando-o à sua própria revelia. Em um ataque direto à dignidade humana, a apresentação encontra sua vítima perfeita no garçom Mário, que deve se submeter às vontades do mágico sem restrições — até que uma tragédia se instaura.

In this third volume of Thomas Mann’s monumental retelling of the biblical story, Joseph in Egypt follows Joseph after he is sold by his jealous brothers to Ishmaelite traders. They bring him to Egypt, where he’s eventually purchased by Potiphar. Joseph's intelligence, charisma, and integrity soon earn him Potiphar’s trust, and he rises to become the overseer of Potiphar’s household.

Neste clássico da literatura alemã, Mann renova a tradição do Bildungsroman — o romance de formação — a partir da trajetória do jovem engenheiro Hans Castorp. Durante uma inesperada estadia de sete anos em um sanatório para tuberculosos nos Alpes suíços, Hans relaciona-se com uma miríade de personagens enfermos que encarnam os conflitos espirituais e ideológicos que antecedem a Primeira Guerra Mundial.

In seinem ersten Roman »Buddenbrooks« erzählt Thomas Mann nur wenig verschlüsselt die Geschichte seiner Familie und ihrer Stellung in der Vaterstadt Lübeck, soweit er sie nachvollziehen, in Einzelheiten überblicken konnte, ja sogar noch miterlebt hat. Verwandte, Honoratioren und markante Persönlichkeiten seiner Jugend werden integriert. Es ist die Geschichte des langsamen Niedergangs einer reichen Kaufmannsfamilie über vier Generationen hinweg. Gert Westphal liest diesen epochalen Roman in ganzer Länge.

At the end of our days we will most likely lie for eternity in the cemetery or graveyard. Many of these, now wreathed in time, have a romance and overgrown beauty as nature keeps and shelters the dead. For our varied and talented authors, a major theme, or indeed character of the stories in this volume is that very location, and how they weave it into their narratives is both fascinating, enlightening and a wonderfully distinct way of telling classic short stories.

In this first volume subtitled ‘The Stories of Jacob', Mann begins with a meditative prelude named “Descent into Hell”, which contextualises the story against a variety of historical, mythological, and historical contexts, before moving on to the story of Joseph's father Jacob. The following chapters follow Jacob as we learn of him stealing his brother's birthright, before fleeing to his uncle Laban and his later marriages to Rachel and Leah.
