...Mann of Buddenbrooks. In the early 18th Century the House of Mann was great in the woolen draping trade at Nuremberg, ancient, free and most glamorous of German cities.

"I find it quite possible," he gossiped, "to write a novelette while surrounded by noisy folks on a beach." Solemnly: "I am sincerely delighted with this great honor. I welcome it the more because I have always been...
