Description
'Buddenbrooks' is Thomas Mann’s first novel, published in 1901, and a landmark of German literature. It follows four generations of the Buddenbrook family, a prosperous merchant family in the northern German city of Lübeck, tracing their gradual social and financial decline. Through the family’s changing fortunes, Mann examines the tensions between bourgeois duty, artistic inclination, ambition and personal freedom. Rich in psychological and social observation, the novel offers an expansive portrait of nineteenth-century German middle-class life.
