Specificatii
This vivid, sometimes tragic, and often humorous literary biography
brings to life as never before the extraordinary talent and complex
person who was Thomas Mann. Engrossing vignettes enable us to enter
Mann's life and work from unique angles. We meet the difficult,
even unsavory private man: hypochondriac and nervous, narcissistic
and vainglorious, isolated and greedy for love, shy and often
ungenerous. But we are also introduced to a man who lived an
eventful life, was capable of great kindness, loved dogs, doted on
his daughters, and listened to Jack Benny. We experience Mann's
tragedy as the quintessential German forced by the rise of National
Socialism first into inner exile and then into real exile in
Switzerland, Princeton, and California. His letters from this time
reveal the torment that exile represented for a writer whose work,
indeed whose very self, was inextricably bound up with the German
language. The book provides fresh and sometimes startling insights
into both famous and little-known episodes in Mann's life and into
his writing--the only realm in which he ever felt free. It shows
how love, death, religion, and politics were not merely themes in
Buddenbrooks, The Magic Mountain, and other works, but were woven
into the fabric of his existence and preoccupied him unrelentingly.
It also teases out what is known about what Mann considered his
celibate homoeroticism and what others have labeled closeted
homosexuality. In particular, we learn about his affection for the
young man who inspired the character of Tadzio in Death in Venice.
And, against the unfocused accusations of anti-Semitism that have
been leveled at Mann, the book examines in human detail his
relationships with Jewish writers, friends, and family members.
This is the richest available portrait of Thomas Mann as man and
writer--the place to start for anyone wanting to know anything
about his life, work, or times.
