Thomas Mann (1875–1955) was from Germany. At the age of 25, he published his first novel, Buddenbrooks. In 1924, The Magic Mountain was published, and five years later, Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Following the rise of the Nazis to power, he left Germany for good in 1933 to live in Switzerland and then in California, where he wrote Doctor Faustus (first published in the United States in 1948).
In addition to Death in Venice, this volume includes "Mario and the Magician," "Disorder and Early Sorrow," "A Man and His Dog," "Felix Krull," "The Blood of the Walsungs," "Tristan," and "Tonio Kröger."
These stories, as direct as Thomas Mann's novels are complex, are perfect illustrations of their author's belief that "a story must tell itself." Varying in theme, in style, in tone, each is in its own way characteristic of Mann's prodigious talents. From the high art of the famous title novella ("A story," Mann said, "of death...of the voluptuousness of doom"), to the irony of "Felix Krull," the early story on which he later based his comic novel The Confessions of Felix Krull, they are stunning testimony to the mastery and virtuosity of a literary giant.
作家的生活是什么样子的?也许对于大多普通的正常的人来说,是个被藏在云里雾里的迷,正像托马斯在《威尼斯之死》中写道的:“谁能揭开艺术家的内心感受和外在表现之谜呢?谁能理解艺术家这种能够将作为基础的自律与放纵的两种秉性根深蒂固地融为一体呢?”(P45)托马斯的这本...
评分不同的时代,不同的人对文学作品有着不同的解读与欣赏,这一点在解读诺贝尔文学奖得主托马斯·曼的《魂断威尼斯》中得到了充分的论证。有人论证这是一部同性恋文学的开山之作,有人认为这是文学互文性的典范之笔,也有人认为这是一部死亡主题文学的再现。而作者托马斯·曼本人...
评分两则审美者与美的遭遇故事,探讨了美与世俗,艺术激情与主流道德,感官混沌与理性秩序间不可调和的冲突。托马斯曼是个不折不扣的审美者。对于他心所向往的至美,他似乎总是抱着一种矛盾的态度。一方面,他倾心仰慕,心荡神驰,目光无时无刻不被美牢牢吸引。另一方面他心怀敬畏...
评分这本书我以前读过上译的,速速翻完,毫无感觉,翻出记录来,打的居然是三颗星?!额的神,真为自己的无知浅薄而汗颜。 这次读的是Michael Henry Heim的译本,前头有Michael Cunningham的推荐,封面上的一句话是" A haunting new translation"。果然没读两页就有haunting的感觉...
评分发表时间:2012-02-03 23:22:29 这是我看的第一本托马斯曼的书,最近对二战前后的作家都很感兴趣,斯蒂芬茨威格,罗曼罗兰,赫尔曼黑塞等都是大师啊,这本译文出的短篇,只有两篇中篇,百度上“《特里斯坦》(1903)、《托尼奥•克勒格尔》(1903)和《威尼斯之死》(191...
