   Extractions: Mann, Thomas (1875-1955) German novelist and critic, one of the most important figures in early 20th-century literature, whose novels explore the relationship between the exceptional individual and his or her environment, either the environment of family or of the world in general. Mann, the younger brother of the novelist and playwright Heinrich Mann, was born into an old merchant family in L[[cedilla]]beck on June 6, 1875. After his father died, the family moved to Munich, where Mann was educated. He was a clerk in an insurance office in Munich and served on the staff of the Munich satiric journal Simplicissimus, before taking up writing as a career. He was influenced by two German philosophers, Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche, although he rejected the ideas of the latter. In one of his later critical works, Essays of Three Decades (1947), he discussed his literary themes as influenced by these thinkers and other artists. Mann's fiction is characterized by accurate reproduction of the details of both modern and ancient life, by profound and subtle intellectual analysis of ideas and characters, and by a detached, somewhat ironic, point of view combined with a deep sense of the tragic. His heroes are often of the bourgeois class, undergoing a spiritual conflict. Mann explored also the psychology of the creative artist. Source: Encarta 1994

    Extractions: Thomas Mann (1875-1955) "A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries." (from The Magic Mountain Simplicissimus . Mann's first book, DER KLEINE HERR FRIEDMANN, was published in 1898. While at university, Mann became immersed in the writings of the philosophers Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche as well as in the music of composer Richard Wagner. In Buddenbrooks, Mann's early masterpiece, he used the technique of the leitmotif , which he adapted from Wagner. Mann had started the book in 1897 as a small story about one member of the family. However, the "protracted finger practice with no ulterior advantages" enlarged into a saga of a wealthy Hanseatic family, which declines from strength to decadence. The last Buddenbrook, the musically gifted young Hanno who dies of a typhoid infection; he is the first of many similar, often morally suspect aesthetes in Mann's novels, continuing in Tonio Kröger, Gustav Aschenbach, Felix Krull, and Adrian Lewerkühn. During World War I Mann supported Kaiser's policy and attacked liberalism. In VON DEUTSCHER REPUBLIK (1923), as a semi-official spokesman for parliamentary democracy, he called the German intellectuals to support the new Weimar state.

    http://www.biographybase.com/biography/Mann_Thomas.html
    
    Extractions: Mann was born in Lübeck. His father was a senator and grain merchant, but died when his son was only 15. The family then moved to Munich, where Mann lived from 1891 until 1933, with the exception of a brief one-year stay in Palestrina, Italy with his brother Heinrich in his early career. He married Katja Pringsheim, daughter of a prominent, secularized Jewish family of intellectuals. He emigrated from Nazi Germany to Küsnacht near Zürich, Switzerland in 1933, then in 1942 to Pacific Palisades, California, USA, returned to Europe in 1952, and lived in Kilchberg near Zürich where he died in 1955. Most of his novels deal with the tension between the unsteady,death-loving artist and the law-obeying, life-affirming citizen. Mann's diaries, unsealed in 1975, speak movingly of his own struggles with his homosexual desires, which found reflection in his works. Mann described his feelings for young violinist and painter Paul Ehrenberg the "central experience of my heart".
