«Der Erwählte» is the novel by Thomas Mann, published by Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag in paperback (200 pages, in German).
The novel recreates a medieval legend that fascinated Thomas Mann: it tells the story of Gregorio, a young man tormented by the secret of his origins, who commits a grave sin without knowing it and seeks forgiveness through suffering and faith. With irony and psychological depth, Mann reflects on guilt, destiny and mercy.
The novel was originally published in 1951, and its author, Thomas Mann, had received the Nobel Prize in 1929.
Intended for readers of classic fiction and twentieth-century German literature, as well as for those interested in recreations of medieval legends.
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.
