The problematic bourgeois

Viac o knihe

Since their publication in 1901 and 1924, Mann's two great novels have established themselves firmly in the canon of the 20th-century novel Buddenbrooks as the epitome of the Realist mode of the 19th century, and The Magic Mountain as a classic of Modernism. Following the thread of major literary and historical developments the Modernism debates, Freudian criticism, Schopenhauerian aesthetics this account of Mann's reception places the critical work against the background of the times.
