“Vivere si deve, e se ti rifiuti d’essere un uomo d’azione, per rifugiarti nella più pacifica solitudine, saranno le vicende dell’esistenza a sopraffarti l’animo, a mettere alla prova il tuo carattere, poco importa che tu sia un eroe o un buffone.” La fantasia può rivelarsi un preziosissimo talento, ma anche schiacciare chi la possiede come un macigno. La storia di un uomo che del suo ingegno farà un mestiere, dopo essere stato definito “pagliaccio” dai suoi genitori, solo per rischiare di finire travolto dall’opacità del suo tempo. Tratto da Padrone e cane, pubblicato da Feltrinelli. Numero di caratteri: 61121

His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modernized German and Biblical stories, as well as the ideas of Goethe, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer. His older brother was the radical writer Heinrich Mann, and three of his six children, Erika Mann, Klaus Mann and Golo Mann, also became important German writers. When Hitler came to power in 1933, Mann fled to Switzerland. When World War II broke out in 1939, he emigrated to the United States, from where he returned to Switzerland in 1952. Thomas Mann is one of the best-known exponents of the so-called Exilliteratur.
