1985SP28-0552-14938Univ of Chicago Press 1985. hardcover. Very Good. 9x6x1. 1985 first edition University of Chicago Press Chicago Illinois 5 5/8 x 8 3/4 inches tall black buckram cloth hardcover volume no dust jacket as issued gilt lettering to spine 229 pp. Slight soiling and rubbing to covers. Otherwise a very good to near fine copy - clean bright and unmarked. ~SP238~ 2.0P This volume brings together Thomas Mann's reflections of a lifetime on the composer to whom he felt closest. The novelist's admiration for Wagner was however by no means uncritical. Following Nietzsche Mann knew that one had a duty to be both 'pro and contra Wagner' - hence the title of this collection. Its centerpiece 'The Sorrows and Grandeur of Richard Wagner' is one of the most revealing essays on the composer ever written. Delivered as a lecture in Munich within two weeks of Hitler having become Chancellor Mann's blasphemous view of Wagner's art as 'dilettantism raised to the level of genius' was the immediate cause of his long exile from German soil. This and the other major essay in the book on the Ring have long been out of print. They are presented here in wholly new translations which capture more faithfully than previous renderings the tone and literary distinction of the original texts. The forty-four other items written between 1902 and 1951 include many which have never before been available in English. As Erich Heller says in his introduction these incomparable writings are 'an essential fragment of the novelist's intellectual autobiography.' Thomas Mann 1875-1955 was a German novelist short story writer social critic philanthropist essayist and the 1929 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate. His highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas are noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modernized versions of German and Biblical stories as well as the ideas of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Friedrich Nietzsche and Arthur Schopenhauer.
