2012br. Perché Thomas Mann, oggi? Una figura complessa e inquietante, insieme composta e lacerata, rimasta spesso confinata nei limiti della critica letteraria, e dunque per molti versi una figura ancora non indagata e sicuramente inattuale. Questo libro tenta una ricognizione estetica e filosofica del romanziere tedesco, articolata dagli autori (come già nei due precedenti libri su G. Bataille e F. Nietzsche) attraverso un reale dialogo che lascia emergere, all'interno dell'opera manniana, sia le sfaccettature mitologiche sia le numerose connessioni col pensiero filosofico. Partito dalla classica triade del 'pessimismo' tedesco Schopenhauer-Wagner-Nietzsche, col sempre presente e pressante modello goethiano alle spalle, Mann si avventura nella vastità dei territori dello spirito attraverso la necessità della narrazione, presagendo però consapevolmente di essere un 'ultimo', uno che chiude e conclude un intero periodo dell'Occidente. La crisi della coscienza di un'epoca avviata verso la notte e l'oblio; il problema del male e della malattia in relazione all'esistenza stessa dell'arte; la possibilità di un nuovo, difficile umanesimo per poter uscire dalla 'decadenza'; infine, il rapporto col mito come emblema di ciò che è universalmente umano: perciò questo libro è anche uno studio sull'ermetico, ovvero quel peculiare e segreto elemento mitologico che accompagna il 'mago' Mann lungo tutto l'arco della sua opera.

George Chainey began his public career in the middle 1870s as a Christian minister in Evansville, Indiana, eventually becoming the pastor of something called the Church of the Unity. Chainey 'de-churched' into free thought in April of 1880 (announcing from the pulpit that he was no longer a Christian, and recommending that the hymnals in his church be sold for their value as waste paper, and getting kicked out of Freemasonry for infidelity for his troubles), and moved his family (wife Martha, and sons Ralph, Clair and Earl) to Boston, where he becomes a powerful propagandist for free thought, lecturing under the auspices of the Ethical Society of Boston. He starts a magazine, This World, which is notable in secular cultural history for its advocacy of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass (which gets it banned from the mails by the Postal Service), and becomes friendly with Bright, Ingersoll, Putnam and other free thought luminaries.
