Buddenbrooks
The Decline of a Family
Thomas Mann
Follow the struggles of a wealthy bourgeois family across four generations in northern Germany. Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks, a classic of modern literature and his first great novel, is a compelling family saga that spans births, marriages, divorces, and deaths. As the Buddenbrooks navigate modernity and challenge their own traditions, their downfall becomes imminent. With meticulous detail and profound humanity, Mann's masterpiece is a model for other family chronicles. This edition features a brilliant new translation of the Nobel Prize-winning novel.

@BradburySlocum I re-read Mrs. Dalloway. I read Death in Venice and Buddenbrooks. I'm reading Emma. I've loved all of them. But they're also for a book project. – source
