(P/B) BUDDENBROOKS

Παρουσίαση

In following the disintegration of a merchant family, Thomas Mann charts the destabilisation of nineteenth bourgeois values and the birth of modernism in this, his first major novel.
Thomas Mann's first novel, Buddenbrooks, is drawn from his own life and experience.
Subtitled The Decline of a Family, his story of a prosperous Hanseatic merchant family and their gradual disintegration is also an extraordinary portrayal of the transition from the stable bourgeois life of the nineteenth century to a modern uncertainty. (From the publisher)
