Thomas Mann

"In books we never find anything but ourselves. Strangely enough, that always gives us great pleasure, and we say the author is a genius."

Thomas Mann was born in 1875 in Lubeck and studied art and literature at the University in Munich. He was only twenty-five when BUDDENBROOKS, his first major novel, was published. Before it was banned and burned by Hitler, it had sold over a million copies in Germany alone. In 1929 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. He dies in Switzerland in 1955.
