Beschrijving
This exhilarating novel of the 20th century is a sweeping story of unrequited love and exile, war and family centred on Thomas Mann whose life was filled with great acclaim and contradiction. He would have six children and keep his homosexuality hidden; he was a man forever connected to his family and yet bore witness to the ravages of suicide. He would write some of the greatest works of European literature, and win the Nobel Prize, but would never return to the country that inspired his creativity. Through one life, Colm Toibin tells the breathtaking story of the twentieth century.
