Томас Манн. Письма. — Литературные памятники

Preparation of the publication and translation from German by S.K.Apta. It is impossible to name the exact number of letters written by Thomas Mann during his long (1875-1955) life. Some of them, for one reason or another, did not survive at all, and if we take into account that among these reasons were such as the writer’s departure in 1933 from Munich, which later turned into emigration, where the archive with his letters and draft letters was stored, as the death of not only the archives of its recipients, but also of a number of the recipients themselves during the years of the fascist dictatorship in Europe and the Second World War, it can be assumed that this irretrievably missing part is quite large. But thousands of letters still survived, and about a thousand and a half have already been published. This edition includes 300 letters by Tamas Mann written between 1901 and 1955.
