First published in 1900, when Thomas Mann was 25, Buddenbrooks is a minutely imagined chronicle of four generations of a North German mercantile family - a work so true to life that it scandalized the author's former neighbours in his native Lübeck.

As he charts the Buddenbrooks' decline from prosperity to bankruptcy, from moral and psychic soundness to sickly piety, artistic decadence and madness, Mann ushers the reader into a world of rich vitality, pieced together from births and funerals, weddings and divorces, recipes, gossip and earthy humour. It is perhaps the first great family saga of modern literature, and it brought to public notice a writer of world stature who, three decades later, was to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. David Rintoul gives one of his finest performances in this committed and deeply moving reading.©1993 Alfred A Knopf (P)2016 Ukemi Productions Ltd Classiques Fiction de genre Historique

Historical fiction fan here. This book is purely written about the societal aspects of history. memorable story. Good narration.

Family life

From the top of aristocracy to apartment dwellers. These old fashioned characters know how to deal with adversity. Tomas Mann teaches us that falling from great heights is not the end of all especially when honour, love and loyalty to our ancestors are challenged in a rapidly changing world.

Life is unfair. Deal with it.

After listening to David Rintoule narrate The Magic Mountain- I listen to him perform Buddenbrooks. Considering that Biddenbrooks was written before The Magic Mountain- I feel that my capacity to objectively review this book has been compromised. Nevertheless- It was a highly rewarding experience- Thomas Mann is Great

What can I say? A book I knew very little about but ended up being a literary experience I'm sure I'll never forget.

Special mention must be made for David Rintoul, whose narration brought to life so many of the literary devices which made Mann and this book so ahead of its time: end-of-chapter fade outs, end-of-chapter cliffhangers, the numerous leitmotifs and memes, the musical descriptions, and the list goes on..
