Thomas Mann: A biography. – Hayman, Ronald. Gereduceerde Prijs

Thomas Mann, author of Death in Venice, The Magic Mountain, and Buddenbrooks was a man with secrets. This biography offers a portrait of the Nobel Prize-winning German novelist, drawing on Mann’s unexpurgated diaries. It uncovers a brilliant writer’s mask to reveal the private man: his bisexuality, his obsession with preserving appearances and the deep guilt which plagued him for nearly fifty years.
