Järnvägsolyckan
O stora nya tid! tänker jag. Man lägger sig i denna säng precis som hemma, den skakar lite genom natten, och detta får till följd att man på morgonen är i Dresden. Jag tog ut min lilla väska ur bagagenätet för att göra lite aftontoalett. Med uppsträckta armar höll jag den ovanför huvudet. I detta nu inträffar järnvägsolyckan. Jag minns det som om det hände i dag.
Med sin sedvanliga humor och lätta sarkasm låter Thomas Mann oss följa med i händelserna vid en tågresa mellan München och Dresden. Men allra mest är detta en vindlande och vinande färd genom hans mästerliga prosa.
Järnvägsolyckan ingår i Nobelnoveller III. Thomas Mann tilldelades Nobelpris i litteratur 1929.

Serbian: Tomas Man
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.

This is a very pleasant short story by a favourite German author, in a Swedish translation! I’ve read several of his novels but I’m not at all familiar with Thomas Mann’s short stories. Now I know a bit about what I’ve missed! The Train Wreck is a story that takes place literally overnight and demonstrates what a talented author Nobel-prize-winner Mann was. I’m now going to look for more of his short stories in the original German.

Kommenterar hur större samhällskriser kan användas politiskt för att gynna en viss grupp och omstrukturera den klassiska hierarkin. På ca. 20 sidor med en kort historia.
Skickligt!
