Buddenbrooks

By Thomas Mann, 1901
A classic tale of four generations of a wealthy German family. Charts a family’s decline from prosperity to bankruptcy, from moral soundness to sickly piety and madness. A world pieced together from births and funerals, weddings and divorces, gossip and earthy humour. Immense in scope, rich in detail, full of humanity.
