«Carlota en Weimar» is the novel by Thomas Mann published by Edhasa in hardback (512 pages, in Spanish).
The novel imagines the arrival in Weimar of Carlota, Goethe's inspiration for «The Sorrows of Young Werther», and her reunion with Goethe, already in his seventies and at the height of his fame. Written in exile and published in 1939, it has been read as a response to the threat of totalitarianism to German culture and as a tribute to Goethe.
2006 edition in the Edhasa Literaria collection, with a translation from German by Francisco Ayala.
Recommended for the general public and especially for readers of Thomas Mann and literary fiction.
Paul Thomas Mann was a German novelist, short story writer, social critic, philanthropist, essayist, and the 1929 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate. His highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas are noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modern versions of German and Biblical stories, as well as the ideas of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Arthur Schopenhauer.
