Thomas Mann

Thomas Mann was a German novelist, short story writer, and essayist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. Born in Lübeck in 1875, he is one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. His major works include Buddenbrooks, The Magic Mountain, and Death in Venice. Bashan and I is a charming novella about Mann's relationship with his dog — a warm, witty, and beautifully observed portrait of the bond between a writer and his beloved companion. Mann died in 1955. His audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers the work of one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century — fiction of extraordinary intellectual depth and literary beauty.
