Thomas Mann (Author) Thomas Mann (1875-1955) is regarded by many as the greatest German novelist of the 20th century. Mann's first major novel, Buddenbrooks, sold over a million copies in Germany alone, before Hitler banned and burned it. Mann fled Germany and spent the latter part of his life living in Switzerland and America. He wrote many essays as well as novels, and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929.
John E. Woods is revising our impression of Thomas Mann, masterpiece by masterpiece. * The New Yorker * Doctor Faustus is Mann’s deepest artistic gesture. . . . Finely translated by John E. Woods. * The New Republic * Arguably the great German novel * New York Times * Perhaps not since Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus has a novelist conveyed so tangibly and exaltedly the mechanism and the aesthetic effect in musical performance * New York Times *
