Thomas Mann was a German novelist, short story writer, social critic, philanthropist, essayist, and Nobel Prize laureate in 1929, known for his series of highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas, noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modernized German and Biblical stories, as well as the ideas of Goethe, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer. His older brother was the radical writer Heinrich Mann, and three of his six children, Erika Mann, Klaus Mann and Golo Mann, also became important German writers. When Hitler came to power in 1933, Mann fled to Switzerland. When World War II broke out in 1939, he emigrated to the United States, from where he returned to Switzerland in 1952. Thomas Mann is one of the best-known exponents of the so-called Exilliteratur.

Une nouvelle d’une centaine de pages qui n’en finit pas !
L’histoire est malsaine j’ai détesté cette passion obsédante d’un vieil homme pour un jeune adolescent. Je n’ai absolument pas compris le principe de cette histoire.
Bien que j’ai passé une semaine difficile et que j’avais du mal à lire, j’ai clairement loupé des chapitres entiers ou je ne comprenait rien de ce qui était écrit. Cette histoire de choléra par dessus le marché qui s’ajoute sans raison m’a encore plus blasé.
C’était une lecture inutile. Dommage, c’était mon premier livre de cet auteur… je pense ne pas avoir choisi le bon pour le découvrir.
Ces trois premiers mois de l’année 2025 ne sont pas révélateurs de coup de cœur… c’est compliqué de rester motivé. Mais je m’accroche. La prochaine sera la bonne je l’espère.

Mann’s prose is good. he really has a knack for building atmosphere, character depictions and has a certain wit. I appreciate that all of the male characters are described with ugly characteristics
My favourite was “le chemin du cimetière”. Loved the pronoun switches with “la vie” and the little bit about the dog.
I can see why all 3 stories were grouped together.
La mort à Venise just was weird to read. I had seen the movie but reading such detailed passages sexualizing a child was too much for me. A lot of his thematics generally didn’t interest me that much. But there is definitely a lot to unpack in regards of closetedness perhaps? Maybe will revisit this author but I’m excited to move on from this book…
