Mann T. Parizhskij otchet

Mann T. Parizhskij otchet

Author Mann T.
Title Parizhskij otchet
Description In January 1926, the fifty-year-old author of Buddenbrooks and the still recent The Magic Mountain travels to Paris for a week-long visit, seeking to rebuild intellectual ties and to find a new normal in the relations between two nations that had recently spent more than four years killing one another. During the visit, the writer meets intellectuals and ministers, Russian émigrés such as Bunin, Shestov, Shmelyov, and Merezhkovsky, as well as American admirers; he speaks at gatherings, goes to the theatre and dines in elegant restaurants. Recording his impressions in his diary with his characteristic pedantry, Mann accompanies everyday observations with extended reflections on dictatorship and democracy, war, and pacifism, Europe’s “anti-idealist turn” and the “decomposition of justice, stinking to high heaven”, on the light and dark sides of German Romanticism, on the destinies of nations and literature, opening a door onto his most private inner world and onto a future already coming into view.
