Weihnachten mit Thomas Mann

Throughout his life, Thomas Mann was enchanted by Christmas: a large tree adorned with silver threads and real candles. The family gathers to celebrate the Silent Night. This is how he described it in "Buddenbrooks," and this is how the Mann family celebrated the holiday. "For it is indeed remarkable how the things are transformed by the light of Christmas candles..."

This volume takes a stroll through Thomas Mann's most beautiful Christmas experiences from childhood to old age, gathering texts from "Buddenbrooks" and "The Magic Mountain," as well as letters, essays, and diaries.
