Thomas Mann: Buddenbrooks, Gebunden

Klappentext

Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann is a multi-generational family saga that traces the decline of a wealthy German merchant family in the 19th century. The novel follows several generations of the Buddenbrook family as they grapple with changing social values, personal ambitions, and the pressures of maintaining their business and social status. As each generation faces new challenges-ranging from financial instability to artistic inclinations that conflict with business duties-the family's power and unity slowly erode. The novel explores themes of tradition versus change, the burdens of legacy, and the tension between individual desires and familial duty. Published in 1901, Buddenbrooks is widely regarded as Thomas Mann's masterpiece and earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929.
