Buddenbrooks: The Decline of a Family

by Thomas Mann, translated by John E. Woods


Buddenbrooks

“Buddenbro oks, first published in Germany in 1901, when Mann was only twenty-six, has become a classic of modern literature. It is the story of four generations of a wealthy bourgeois family in northern Germany facing the advent of mod ernity; in an uncertain new world, the family’s bonds and traditions begin to disintegrate. As Mann charts the Buddenbrooks’ decline from prosperity t o bankruptcy, from moral and psychic soundness to sickly piety, artistic de cadence, and madness, he ushers the reader into a world of stunning vitalit y, pieced together from births and funerals, weddings and divorces, recipes , gossip, and earthy humor.” (Good Reads)

We strongly recommen d this 1994 translation by John E. Woods. His translation is considered clo ser to the original than the 1924 translation by Helen T. Lowe-Porter.
