Books by Thomas Mann

This European masterpiece from the Nobel prizewinner explores the lure and degeneracy of ideas in an introverted community on the eve of World War I. Hans Castorp is 'a perfectly ordinary, if engaging young man' when he goes to visit his cousin in an exclusive sanatorium in the Swiss Alps.

A portrayal of genius possessed, through the biography of the composer Adrian Leverkuhn, narrated by his friend Zeitblom in the years 1943-45, as Germany faces ruin.

Thomas Mann's first great novel, written at the age of 25, is an epic study of decadence among the merchant families of Hamburg at the end of the nineteenth century. The novel is based on Mann's own experience as the son of a German merchant prince, but it goes far beyond his own experience in its sweep and comprehensiveness.

Doktor Faustus er Thomas Manns fascinerende omskrivning af den gamle historie om Faust, der sælger sin sjæl til Djævelen for at opnå udødelighed. I Manns moderne version er det historien om komponisten Adrian Leverkühns tragiske liv og fortællingen om den tyske kulturs dæmonbesættelse og undergang. Et af litteraturhistoriens store værker med inspiration fra Nietzsche, Goethe, Kierkegaard og Shakespeare.I denne nye udgave indledes bogen med et forord af Ursula Andkjær Olsen.

A masterpiece of German modernism and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century. Adrian Leverkuhn is a young man destined for success.

De fleste kender Thomas Manns store romaner Buddenbrooks og Dr. Faustus - og Døden i Venedig. Men den sidstnævnte er faktisk ikke en roman, men en fortælling. Thomas Mann begyndte sin forfatterkarriere som attenårig i 1893 med en fortælling, og han skrev sin sidste fortælling kun to år før sin død i 1955. 33 publicerede fortællinger blev det til, hvoraf mange har opnået klassikerstatus - det gælder ikke mindst Døden i Venedig, men også historier som Tonio Kröger, De forbyttede hoveder og Loven. Ca. halvdelen af fortællingerne er for mange år siden udkommet på dansk, men det er først nu, alle fortællingerne oversættes sammen. For opgaven står det rutinerede oversætterpar Judyta Preis og Jørgen Herman Monrad, som har roste oversættelser af bl.a. Frankz Kafka og Joseph Roth bag sig. Døden i Venedig afslutter dette første bind, Tidlige fortællinger 1893-1912, som også byder på perler som Den lille Hr. Friedemann og Tonio Kröger. Andet bind, Sene fortællinger 1919-1953, udkommer i forsommeren 2013. Thomas Manns fortællinger er formfuldendte, psykologisk skarpe og sprogligt gnistrende. Det vil glæde mange, at de nu alle bliver tilgængelige på dansk.

Discover Mann's Nobel Prizewinning semi-autobiographical and sweeping family epic. The Buddenbrook clan is everything you'd expect of a nineteenth-century German merchant family - wealthy, esteemed, established.

Gregorius synes fra fødslen dømt til en uhellig skæbne: Han er nemlig barn af et incestuøst søskendeforhold og ender, trods sine forsøg på at hæve sig over sit ophav, med selv at reproducere samme synd. Ganske uvidende om deres familieforhold, bliver han gift og får børn med sin biologiske mor. Men selv denne grotesk-nedarvede, skyldløse synd ændrer ikke ved, at Gregorius er den guddommeligt udvalgte, der ad de mest snørklede stier som pave skal føre kirken ind i en ny højtid.Den Udvalgte er et sent mesterværk af den aldrende Mann. Her gennemspiller han i et lystigt, til tider nærmest komisk tonefald, forfatterskabets grundtema: Skæbnens og de hylende drifters evige triumf over det civiliserede liv. Men også det enestående individs mulighed for med sin charme og kløgt at puste moral og fremskridt ind i verden.Den Udvalgte er en stor og kompleks fortælling om skyld og nåde, synd og tilgivelse. Romanen er skrevet med Manns eminente psykologisk indsigt og skarpe filosofiske blik for at skildre eksistensens brudflader. Bogen er et stilistisk kunststykke i sin sproglige transformation af middelaldereposset til moderne prosa  – mesterligt nyoversat af Per Øhrgaard, der også har skrevet bogens efterskrift.
