Description
Thomas Mann's landmark work chronicles the decline of a German merchant clan. Ranging from 1835 to 1877, the semi-autobiographical tale explores not only the fate of an individual family but also the crisis of an entire social class along with moral and philosophical themes related to duty, self-expression, and appearance versus reality.
