Buddenbrooks is a novel by the German writer Thomas Mann, published in 1901. The work narrates the decline of a bourgeois family from Lübeck over four generations, from 1835 to 1876. Through the story of the Buddenbrooks, Mann offers a portrait of 19th-century German society and explores themes such as the decline of the bourgeoisie, the conflict between tradition and modernity, and the relationship between art and life. This edition features the translation of Isabel García Adánez, which perfectly captures the author's style.
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.
