Summary:

This bestselling novel is based on the life of the writer Thomas Mann. When the Great
War breaks out in 1914, Thomas Mann, like so many of his countrymen, is fired up with
patriotism. He imagines the Germany of great literature and music, which had drawn
him away from the stifling, conservative town of his youth, might be a source of pride
once again. But Mann’s flawed vision will form the beginning of a dark and complex
relationship with his homeland and see the start of great conflict with his own brilliant
and troubled family.
