Gert Westphal reads Thomas Mann

The magician and the king of narrators, Gert Westphal, is a legend: his melodious, richly modulated voice, his unfailing sense of rhythm, the confident tempo and role changes, the strong dialect colors – it is no coincidence that Die Zeit crowned him the "King of Narrators." His recitations of Thomas Mann, of whom he was the "supreme mouth" (Katja Mann), became particularly famous. In this edition, one can listen again and again to his great stories and novels. Includes: "Fallen" (short story), "The Will to Happiness" (short story), "Luischen" (short story), "Gladius Dei" (short story), "The Wonder Child" (short story), "A Happiness" (short story), "The Railway Accident" (short story), "Disorder and Early Sorrow" (short story), "Royal Highness" (novel), "Lotte in Weimar" (excerpts from the novel), "Christmas at the Buddenbrooks" (excerpt from "Buddenbrooks").
