Tilmann Lahme: Thomas Mann. Ein Leben

In the organizer's words:

Thomas Mann is the literary magician of the twentieth century: Nobel Prize winner, celebrated genius, upper-class citizen and family man - but deeply unhappy. He loves and is not allowed to love, the ideas of his time stand in his way. Since his worldwide success with Buddenbrooks, all doors have opened for him, right up to the White House. No other German voice fights against Hitler as audibly as his, no other man heaps honors on himself as he does. With the help of new sources, Tilmann Lahme paints a completely new picture of Mann, his life and his suffering.

Dr. Tilmann Lahme is a literary historian and author. His publications on the Mann family include the highly acclaimed biography of Golo Mann (2009) and the bestseller Die Manns. History of a Family (2015).
