«La montagna incantata è un fedele, complesso, esauriente ritratto della civiltà occidentale dei primi decenni del Novecento e, nella sua incantata fusione di prosa e poesia, di vastità scientifica e di arte raffinata, è il libro, forse, più grandioso che sia stato scritto nella prima metà del secolo.» Con queste parole, un entusiasta Ervino Pocar concludeva l'introduzione all'edizione d...

Tutti scritti entro il 1911, i racconti giovanili di Thomas Mann compresi in questa raccolta, tra i quali celeberrimi Il piccolo signor Friedemann e Sangue welsungo, recano già in sé l'impronta precisa di una visione del mondo che sarà poi dispiegata con maggiore ricchezza di pensiero e di stile nelle opere più mature. Brevi prose, studi preliminari, abbozzi rapidamente schizzati o narrazioni più organiche...

Diese leicht erweiterte Form eines Vortrags, den Thomas Mann im Frühjahr 1938 in 15 Städten der USA hielt, ist von geradezu prophetischer Kraft und inspirierender Aktualität. Denn heute erleben wir, dass die Grundwerte der Demokratie wieder infrage gestellt werden, dass Populismus und Nationalismus unsere demokratische Gesellschaft massiv unter Druck setzen. Schon früh erkannte Mann die Zeichen der Zeit und entwickelte sich zu einem wirkmächti...
