Thomas Mann: A Study
Excerpt from Thomas A Study
During the next three years, until he joined his mother in Munich and entered an insurance office as an unpaid clerk, Thomas Mann's interests were becoming more and more literary. He did little but read. Hans Andersen, with a closer attention to style and structure than his more childish brain had been able to Schiller, with an eye to the dramatic possibilities of the toy theatre Goethe's and Heine's lyrics, which instructed him in the old romanticism, prepared him for the new, and set for ever in his heart the singing note which was never to be quite absent from any of his books.
