Der Zauberberg

The large annotated Frankfurt edition of the works of Thomas Mann (GKFA) is the first textually critical and scientifically annotated complete edition of the narrative and essayistic works of this author. In addition, a selection of Thomas Mann's letters is being produced. The GKFA is being developed in collaboration with the Thomas Mann Archive at ETH Zurich. The first volumes were published in 2002. A team of renowned researchers conducts a thorough revision of all texts and verifies the readings. Historical orthography is reintroduced, and corrupted text passages are corrected. The commentary includes introductory essays that convey the most important background information about the text: its history of creation and reception, sources, and textual situation. A detailed commentary on specific passages facilitates access to the work and provides an important foundation for further research. The high-quality volumes are available either in a box set (text and commentary) or individually.
