In their correspondence, set against a shifting backdrop of locations in Europe & America, mundane concerns blend easily w/ astonishing artistic & critical insights. That these irrepressible siblings were among the giants of 20th-century letters gives their exchanges unique literary & historical fascination. Beginning in Germany & Italy at the turn of the century, the letters document w/ disarming immediacy the brothers' views on aesthetics, politics, & the social responsibility of the writer, as well as their mutual jealousy, admiration, rivalry, & loyalty. The devastating rift caused by Thomas's support of Germany during World War I & his brother's utter opposition to the war took many years to mend, but they found their way back to friendship in the 1920s. After Hitler rose to power, both writers ultimately sought refuge in the United States. The letters offer a moving portrayal of their struggle, as novelists & socially engaged intellectuals, to bear witness to the cataclysmic historical changes around them & to their experience of exile, in Europe & then in America. This first complete English translation of their correspondence is a dramatic human dialogue & a major literary event. * ABOUT THE EDITOR ET ALS: HANS WYSLING as Director of the Thomas Mann Archive at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zürich.
