New York. 1975. June 1975. Harper & Row. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0060106425. Edited by Anni Carlsson and Volker Michels. Translated from the German by Ralph Manheim. Foreword by Theordore Ziolkowski. 196 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Dorothy Schmiderer. keywords: Literature Translated Germany Letters Biography. FROM THE PUBLISHER-This is a collection of the letters of two of the giants of twentieth-century German literature. Beginning with a letter from Mann to Hesse in 1910 and ending with Hesse's poignant memorial essay to Mann, the letters reflect the course of their slowly developing relationship through the turbulent years of their time. At first glance, two men more different in background, tastes and style of work and life can hardly be imagined. Mann, from the north of Germany, the cultured cosmopolitan of patrician parentage, writer of epic prose, and Hesse, the southerner from the Black Forest region, fiercely protective of his privacy, a writer of poetry and deeply introspective lyrical fiction. They were both past fifty before they came to a recognition of their common bond as representatives of a humanist tradition which was under severe attack in Germany. The subjects of the letters are political as well as literary, to be expected of two men, both of whom, for political reasons, became exiles-Hesse in 1918, at the time of World War I, and Mann in 1933, during the Nazi era. inventory #4529.
