Famous from the time that he published his first novel in 1901, Mann became an iconic figure, seen as the living embodiment of German national culture. Leading scholar Todd Kontje provides a succinct introduction to Mann's life and work, discussing key moments in Mann's personal life and his career as a public intellectual, and giving readers a sense of why he is considered such an important - and controversial - writer. At the heart of the book is an informed appreciation of Mann's great literary achievements, including the novel The Magic Mountain and the haunting short story Death in Venice"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000349513 60010 $$aMann, Thomas,$$d1875-1955$$xCriticism and interpretation. 000349513 85200 $$bgen$$hPT2625.A44$$iZ73244$$i2011 000349513 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1012/2010034948-b.html 000349513 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1012/2010034948-d.html 000349513 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1012/2010034948-t.html 000349513 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97805217/67927/cover/9780521767927.jpg 000349513 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:349513$$pGLOBAL_SET 000349513 980__ $$aBIB 000349513 980__ $$aBOOK
