A groundbreaking biography of one of the century's most important writers. A portrait of Thomas Mann's Germany, his work, his life, his exile and arrival in America - a life of suffering and courage, of great achievement, a life beset by political hostility from the right and the left, and by the torments of sexual frustration. We see Mann, the wunderkind, transforming the history of his family into Germany's first classic novel, Buddenbrooks ... the competition between Thomas and his brother Heinrich, who became his greatest literary rival. We see Mann in turn-of-the-century Munich, always the hyperobservant outsider. And we come to understand his immense loneliness, a loneliness interrupted briefly by an affair with a young violinist, Paul Ehrenberg ("that central experience of my heart"), that was later dramatized in Doctor Faustus
