DJ has some wear tears soiling and chips. Sticker residue inside front cover. Translator's Introduction; Reflections of a Nonpolitical Man; Prologue; Chapter 1: The Protest; Chapter 2; The Unliterary Country; Chapter 3: Civiization's Literary Man; Chapter 4; Soul-Searching; Chapter 5--Burgherly Nature; Chapter 6; "Against Justice and Truth"; Chapter 7--Politics; Chapter 8--On Virtue; Chapter 9---Some Comments on Humanity; Chapter 10--On Belief; Chapter 11--The Politics of Estheticism; and Chapter 12---Irony and Radicalism. In this eloquent work that encompasses both patriotism and inner conflict; Mann weaves together the many threads of history and culture that underlay his nature and philosophy. The book reflects as well the conflict between Thomas Mann defender of the German character and the German empire and his writer-brother Heinrich who hoped for Germany's defeat so that her stubborn conservative spirit givesway to an enlightened democracy. The Real War thus became a fraternal struggle and its echoes are heard in these pages. Paul Thomas Mann 6 June 1875 - 12 August 1955 was a German novelist short story writer social critic philanthropist essayist and the 1929 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate. His highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas are noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modernized versions of German and Biblical stories as well as the ideas of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Friedrich Nietzsche and Arthur Schopenhauer. Mann was a member of the Hanseatic Mann family and portrayed his family and class in his first novel Buddenbrooks. His older brother was the radical writer Heinrich Mann and three of Mann's six children Erika Mann Klaus Mann and Golo Mann also became significant German writers. When Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 Mann fled to Switzerland. When World War II broke out in 1939 he moved to the United States then returned to Switzerland in 1952. Mann is one of the best-known exponents of the so-called Exilliteratur German literature written in exile by those who opposed the Hitler regime. His career as a writer began when he wrote for the magazine Simplicissimus. Mann's first short story "Little Mr. Friedemann" Der Kleine Herr Friedemann was published in 1898. On 23 June 1944 Thomas Mann was naturalized as a citizen of the United States. From a review found on-line: When the Great War broke out in August 1914 Thomas Mann like so many people on both sides of the conflict was exhilarated. Finally the era of decadence that he had anatomized in Death in Venice had come to an end; finally there was a cause worth fighting and even dying for or at least when it came to Mann himself writing about. Mann immediately picked up his pen to compose a paean to the German cause. Soon after his elder brother and lifelong rival the novelist Heinrich Mann responded with a no less determined denunciation. Thomas took it as an unforgivable stab in the back. The bitter dispute between the brothers would swell into the strange tortured brilliant sometimes perverse literary performance that is Reflections of a Nonpolitical Man a book that Mann worked on and added to throughout the war and that bears an intimate relation to his postwar masterpiece The Magic Mountain. Wild and ungainly though Mann's reflections can be they nonetheless constitute a key meditation on the freedom of the artist and the distance between literature and politics.

Jacket is now preserved in mylar cover. 154 pages."Sometime around the 1960s a century or more after the avant-garde was named into existence by utopian socialists and advanced artists the media was full of reports of its "death." How could such a death havve occurred Weren't we still surrounded by what would once hve been called avant-garde artists movements rhetoric and works In this book Paul Mann traces the causes of the avant-garde's allegedly terminal illness. His goal is not to produce yet another history of the avant-garde or another study of particular artists or movements -- although many movements and works are reconsidered -- but rather to investigate the discourse of the avant-garde the ways we talk about the avant-gardes the notion that "to produce a theory of the avant-garde is to articulate its death."
