In this masterful novel, Colm Tóibín recounts the life of the legendary writer Thomas Mann with unique empathy. From his childhood in Lübeck to his marriage in Munich, through his opposition to the Nazis and his American exile, the work explores the many facets of a man who kept his emotional life hidden, torn between his personal desires and family duties. A literary event, this novel portrays Mann not only as a world-renowned author but as a complex family man, capturing the tension between bourgeois respectability and artistic asceticism.
