Thomas Mann's first novel is a richly realized, profoundly moving saga of 'the decline of a family' as it succumbs to the forces of modernity. Published when he was only twenty-five, it was one of the two books for which he won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1929.\u003cbr\u003e Translated by John E.
