16041818816/04/1936. <blockquote><p>An incredibly rare and unpublished letter relating to his perhaps most famous work</p></blockquote><p>1936 was a momentous year for Mann. That year his escalated attacks on the Nazi government led to his German citizenship being revoked. He traveled to Argentina his maternal homeland for a PEN International Conference which was organized to bring peace and understanding between cultures using literature.</p><p>In 1900 at the age of 25 Thomas Mann wrote and in 1901 published Buddenbrooks chronicling the decline of a wealthy north German merchant family over the course of four generations. Mann drew deeply from the history of his own family the Mann family of Lübeck and their times. It was Mann's first novel and it made him a major literary figure. The work led to a Nobel Prize in Literature for Mann in 1929; although the Nobel award generally recognizes an author's body of work the Swedish Academy's citation for Mann identified ""his great novel Buddenbrooks"" as the principal reason for his prize. Mann began writing the book in October 1897 when he was twenty-two years old. The novel was completed three years later in July 1900 and published in October 1901.</p><p>Henry Hart was an American publisher who worked mainly for Scribner's in New York. He was working with Mann on the publication of English-language versions of his works including Nocturns.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> in German to Hart April 16 1936.</p><p><em>""I am hurrying to acknowledge receipt of your check from August 25th and am happy that sales of the “Nocturnes†are gradually progressing.</em></p><p><em>""You have added some very personal notes to your letter hat I would like to address with a few words. The trip to Moscow I will definitely make but will have to postpone it for now since I have travel plans to Vienna and Budapest in the immediate future. For the summer I have agreed to travel to Bueno Aires for the PEN Club Congress. I had committed to this trip a while ago and therefore have to travel there first. This trip is especially enticing to me since it will take me to Rio de Janeiro. It is the home of my mother who often told me about the beauty of the coast when I was a child.</em></p><p><em>""I was very touched about what you told me regarding your repeated studies of the novel of my youth. I finished it when I was 25 years old. The young man who wrote that book in his solitude could not have dreamed that it would be his calling in life to influence the intellectual life of people in a foreign continent in a educating and encouraging way. From the bottom of my heart I wish you have happy and beautiful ideas for your work and am repeating my request to please send me a copy your book once it is printed.""</em></p> unknown
19352132622/04/1935. <blockquote><p>This letter was acquired from the family of the recipient and has never been offered for sale before</p></blockquote><p>In 1900 at the age of 25 Thomas Mann wrote and in 1901 published Buddenbrooks chronicling the decline of a wealthy north German merchant family over the course of four generations.

He was working with Mann on the publication of English-language versions of his works including Nocturns.</p><p>The League of American Writers was established by the First American Writers Congress a gathering held from April 26–28 1935. It was an association of American novelists playwrights poets journalists and literary critics launched by the Communist Party USA in 1935. The group included Communist Party members and so-called ""fellow travelers"" who closely followed the Communist Party's political line without being formal party members as well as individuals sympathetic to specific policies being advocated by the parrty.</p><p>In 1933 after the takeover of the Nazi party while travelling in the South of France Mann heard from his eldest children Klaus and Erika in Munich that it would not be safe for him to return to Germany. The family except these two children emigrated to Küsnacht near Zürich Switzerland but received Czechoslovak citizenship and a passport in 1936.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> April 22 1935 to Hart his publisher. <em>""It is not easy for me to answer your suggestion in regards to this business news. I have read very carefully the appeal of the American writer’s congress. However I have unsurmountable concerns about contributing a statement to the congress. In the second half of the appeal there is mention of ‘civil liberties’. It stands in logical contradiction to all previous statements which have a purely communist character. A telegram on my part as you have asked me to send would be a clear support of communism which I am not able to force myself to give. I have a true love of civil liberties as much as I am against fascism and war. I much prefer the communist revolution to that of the fascists. Nevertheless the wording of this appeal and the political orientation it lends to this congress does not allow me to follow your wishes to send a note of unrestricted sympathy to the congress. I beg you to understand and not interpret my position as a lack of courage. It is an act of good conscience of what is my duty and what is not.</em></p><p><em>""Earlier than planned my wife and I will have the opportunity to see you again. In June a little bit later than last time we will come to America and stay for a short while in New York.""</em></p><p>This letter was acquired from the family of the recipient and has never before been offered for sale.</p> unknown
