Summary
Mann’s semi-autobiographical and sweeping family epic. The book that won him the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Discover Mann’s Nobel Prizewinning semi-autobiographical and sweeping family epic.
The Buddenbrook clan is everything you’d expect of a nineteenth-century German merchant family - wealthy, esteemed, established. Four generations later, a tide of twentieth-century modernism has gradually disintegrated the bourgeois values on which the Buddenbrooks built their success.

Critics Review
His masterpiece
“Perhaps the first great novel of the 20th century” New York Times “A simple but magnificent proof of genius. A first novel by a 25-year-old with absolute command of his craft, uncanny knowledge of his world, its past and present, and a daring originality which makes its last pages among the most startlingly moving I know” – Alan Hollinghurst New York Times “One of the best novels of the 20th century” Guardian “That definitive epic of German family life” Irish Times “His masterpiece” Los Angeles Times
About The Author
Thomas Mann
Thomas Mann (1875-1955) is regarded by many as the greatest German novelist of the 20th century. Mann’s first major novel, Buddenbrooks, sold over a million copies in Germany alone, before Hitler banned and burned it. Mann fled Germany and spent the latter part of his life living in Switzerland and America. He wrote many essays as well as novels, and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929.
