In their correspondence, set against a shifting backdrop of locations in Europe & America, mundane concerns blend easily w/ astonishing artistic & critical insights. That these irrepressible siblings were among the giants of 20th-century letters gives their exchanges unique literary & historical fascination. Beginning in Germany & Italy at the turn of the century, the letters document w/ disarming immediacy the brothers' views on aesthetics, politics, & the social responsibility of the writer, as well as their mutual jealousy, admiration, rivalry, & loyalty. The devastating rift caused by Thomas's support of Germany during World War I & his brother's utter opposition to the war took many years to mend, but they found their way back to friendship in the 1920s. After Hitler rose to power, both writers ultimately sought refuge in the United States. The letters offer a moving portrayal of their struggle, as novelists & socially engaged intellectuals, to bear witness to the cataclysmic historical changes around them & to their experience of exile, in Europe & then in America. This first complete English translation of their correspondence is a dramatic human dialogue & a major literary event. * ABOUT THE EDITOR ET ALS: HANS WYSLING as Director of the Thomas Mann Archive at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zürich.

Paperback. Produced in 1919, Passionate Journey uses Masereel's simple and precise woodcuts to present a story of one man's life and loves in post-World War I Berlin.  Woodcutter, painter, cosmopolitan and anti-militarist, Belgium-born Masereel (1889-1972) was an extremely popular artist in 1920s Germany. A contemporary of Kathe Kollwitz and George Grosz, his "novels-without-words"--completely composed of woodcuts--have been neglected in the States. Here, 165 striking woodcuts generate the visual narrative of a young man's initiation into the urban milieu. The raw power and diversity of the city's day to day events continually expand his understanding of life's possibilities. The hero's fascination with the city's abundance of art and culture, political debate and industrial glory combine with observations on an equal profusion of poignant social trauma. The protagonist travels to distant lands; this journey of vibrant percipience propels him toward an enlarged comprehension of his role in a world of good and evil, love and tenderness and clashing social interests. Mann's effusive introduction discusses Masereel's life and influences and details the ideas that motivated and enliven this vivid work. Good condition. Minor bumping wear on cover edges.

OW a pretty square looking copy of this seldom seen early edition of Mann's memoir of growing up under the Nazi's! Many glossy photos peppered throughout the book. 176 pages + 8 pages of photos. Introduction by the author's father, Thomas Mann.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good Plus. First Edition Thus. 1985. 229pp. "This volume brings together Thomas Mann's reflections of a lifetime on the composer to whom he felt closest. The novelist's admiration for Wagner was, however, by no means uncritical. Following Nietzsche, Mann knew that one had a duty to be both 'pro and contra Wagner' - hence the title of this collection." Some minor shelf wear to covers. The book is otherwise in excellent condition. There are no inscriptions and all contents are tight and clean.
