Download or read book Was the Real Thomas Mann an Antisemite? written by Alexander Raviv and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines four novellas by Thomas Mann, into which he overtly or covertly placed Jewish characters: "The Will for Happiness", "Gladius Dei", "Tristan", and "The Blood of the Walsungs". Argues that these novellas show Mann as an antisemite. His early collaboration with the voelkisch-nationalist periodical "Das zwanzigste Jahrhundert", to which he contributed a number of essays touching on the "Jewish question", and some other details of his biography corroborate this impression.
