...hardest things a U. S. citizen can attempt in Russia is to convince the Soviet citizens he meets that Uncle Sam is not busy sharpening a bayonet which he means some day to plunge into the Russian Bear. Millions of Russians believe today in "the inevitability of the international class war": Communism v. Capitalism.

Last week in strongly Royalist Munich, where Republican Mann still lives, news of the Nobel Prize was frigidly received by the newspapers, given scant space, small praise...

His earliest poetic piece was "Five, Men and Pompey", written in 1915 just after he graduated from Yale.
