Bøger af Thomas Mann

Die Wintersonne stand nur als armer Schein, milchig und matt hinter Wolkenschichten über der engen Stadt. Naß und zugig war's in den giebeligen Gassen, und manchmal fiel eine Art von weichem Hagel, nicht Eis, nicht Schnee.

The narrative follows the course of a man's life from his schoolboy days to his adulthood. The son of a north German merchant and a "Southern" mother (Consuelo) with artistic talents, Tonio inherited qualities from both sides of his family. As a child, he experiences conflicting feelings for the bourgeois people around him. He feels both superior to them in his insights and envious of their innocent vitality. This conflict continues into Tonio's adulthood, when he becomes a famous writer living in southern Germany. "To be an artist," he comes to believe, "one has to die to everyday life." These issues are only partially resolved when Tonio travels north to visit his hometown. While there, Tonio is mistaken for an escaped criminal, thereby reinforcing his inner suspicion that the artist must be an outsider relative to "respectable" society. As Erich Heller -who knew Thomas Mann personally- observed, Tonio Kröger's theme is that of the "artist as an exile from reality" (with Goethe's Torquato Tasso (1790) and Grillparzer's Sappho (1818) for company). Yet it was also Erich Heller who, earlier, in his own youth, had diagnosed the main theme of Tonio Kröger to be the infatuation and entanglements of a passionate heart, destined to give shape to, intellectualize, its feelings in artistic terms.

Gustav Von Aschenbach, a famous German writer, arrives in Venice at a mature stage of his life seeking to renew lost inspiration. From the quiet beach next to his hotel, he spends hours admiring the charm of young Tadzio, a Polish teenager who leads him into an internal struggle between desire and the forbidden that will make him renounce everything, including himself. Death in Venice is a subtle representation of the decadence of a Europe besieged by war and cholera, and, at the same time, an ode to beauty through the eyes of a mature man in the midst of a sexual identity crisis.

Death in Venice written by Thomas Mann, is a novella that delves into the psychological and existential themes of desire, decay, and the pursuit of beauty. Set in Venice during the early 20th century, the story follows Gustav von Aschenbach, a renowned writer in his late fifties. Aschenbach becomes infatuated with the ethereal beauty of a young Polish boy named Tadzio, whom he encounters at his hotel. Through vivid descriptions and introspective passages, Mann explores the tensions between art and life, control and abandon, and the interplay between rationality and irrationality. The city of Venice itself serves as a metaphorical backdrop, embodying both allure and decay, as Aschenbach's fascination unfolds against the backdrop of an impending cholera epidemic. The story is a profound examination of the complexities of human desire, the pursuit of beauty, and the inherent fragility of existence, leaving readers contemplating the depths of their own desires and the consequences of their pursuit.

Here are ten fictional stories written by a long-term librarian at the largest library in the world. While the plots and characters are all made up, each story is an attempt to capture the fun of working at a reference desk in ways that nonfiction books on librarianship just cannot match. There are quite a few "tricks of the trade" that come out, too, that may even alert readers to more research options than they'll ever find in Google or Wikipedia.

While Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson sit comfortably by their fireplace on the evening of December 24th of 1894, Dr. Watson's memory of previous Christmas Eves draws forth an unexpected response from his companion. Holmes, normally very reticent to speak about his early life, meditatively recalls a particular incident that happened on the same date in his own past: that when he was a very young man, before ever meeting Watson, he had occasion to meet and to be of great service to none other than a very old Ebeneezer Scrooge.

It is 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 reader into a world of stunning vitality, pieced together from births and funerals, weddings and divorces, recipes, gossip, and earthy humor. Includes unique illustrations.
