Hans Castorp is, on the face of it, an ordinary man in his early 20s, on course to start a career in ship engineering in his home town of Hamburg, when he decides to travel to the Berghof Santatorium in Davos. The year is 1912 and an oblivious world is on the brink of war. Castorp’s friend Joachim Ziemssen is taking the cure and a three-week visit seems a perfect break before work begins. But when Castorp arrives he is surprised to find an established community of patients, and little by little, he gets drawn into the closeted life and the individual personalities of the residents.

Story15
Thomas Mann's last great novel, first published in 1947 and now newly rendered into English by acclaimed translator John E. Woods, is a modern reworking of the Faust legend, in which Germany sells its soul to the Devil. Mann's protagonist, the composer Adrian Leverkühn, is the flower of German culture, a brilliant, isolated, overreaching figure, his radical new music a breakneck game played by art at the very edge of impossibility. In return for twenty-four years of unparalleled musical accomplishment, he bargains away his soul—and the ability to love his fellow man.

Thomas Mann’s monumental novel offers a captivating exploration of a decaying European society on the brink of the First World War. Set against the backdrop of a luxurious sanatorium nestled high in the Swiss Alps, we delve into the lives of a diverse cast of characters from the bourgeois elite, each grappling with ailments, particularly consumption, while simultaneously indulging in the pleasures and distractions of life. This rich narrative interweaves elements of surreal comedy, stark tragedy, and profound allegory, establishing Manns work as a cornerstone of twentieth-century literature....

In seinem ersten Roman »Buddenbrooks« erzählt Thomas Mann nur wenig verschlüsselt die Geschichte seiner Familie und ihrer Stellung in der Vaterstadt Lübeck, soweit er sie nachvollziehen, in Einzelheiten überblicken konnte, ja sogar noch miterlebt hat. Verwandte, Honoratioren und markante Persönlichkeiten seiner Jugend werden integriert. Es ist die Geschichte des langsamen Niedergangs einer reichen Kaufmannsfamilie über vier Generationen hinweg. Gert Westphal liest diesen epochalen Roman in ganzer Länge.

Ein kurzer Besuch in einem Davoser Sanatorium wird für den jungen Ingenieur Hans Castorp zu einem siebenjährigen Aufenthalt, der Kurort wird zur Bühne für die europäische Befindlichkeit vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Fern von der erdrückenden Realität drehen sich die Gespräche unter den Patienten um Politik, Philosophie, Liebe, Krankheit und Tod. Im Juli 1913 begonnen, während des Krieges durch essayistische Arbeiten unterbrochen, konnte der Roman 1924 abgeschlossen und veröffentlicht werden.

Story2
In der Lebensgeschichte Adrian Leverkühns – der fiktiven Romanbiographie eines Komponisten, der sich dem Teufel verschreibt – fasst Thomas Mann alle Entwicklungsstufen der alten Faust-Sage zusammen und verknüpft sie mit den politischen Ereignissen seiner Zeit. Der zeitliche Rahmen umgrenzt die Jahre von 1884 bis 1945, seine eigene Epoche. Er selbst nannte den "Doktor Faustus" "ein Lebensbuch von fast sträflicher Schonungslosigkeit, eine sonderbare Art von übertragener Autobiographie, ein Werk, das mich mehr gekostet und tiefer an mir gezehrt hat, als jedes frühere".

Story2
Thomas Mann regarded his monumental retelling of the biblical story of Joseph as his magnum opus. He conceived of the four parts—The Stories of Jacob, Young Joseph, Joseph in Egypt, and Joseph the Provider—as a unified narrative, a "mythological novel" of Joseph's fall into slavery and his rise to be lord over Egypt. Deploying lavish, persuasive detail, Mann conjures for us the world of patriarchs and pharaohs, the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Palestine, and the universal force of human love in all its beauty, desperation, absurdity, and pain.

In this first volume subtitled ‘The Stories of Jacob', Mann begins with a meditative prelude named “Descent into Hell”, which contextualises the story against a variety of historical, mythological, and historical contexts, before moving on to the story of Joseph's father Jacob. The following chapters follow Jacob as we learn of him stealing his brother's birthright, before fleeing to his uncle Laban and his later marriages to Rachel and Leah.

Ausgangspunkt für Thomas Manns Goethe-Roman ist der historisch belegte Besuch Charlotte Kestners, Goethes unglücklicher Jugendliebe und Vorbild für die Figur der Lotte im 'Werther', 1816 in Weimar. In einer Mischung aus Fiktion und Wirklichkeit arrangiert Thomas Mann geschickt das Wiedertreffen zwischen Lotte und dem inzwischen berühmten Goethe. Es kommt zu Gesprächen, von denen sich Lotte Aufschluss über die frühere Leidenschaft erhofft. Gert Westphal gibt diesem Mann`schen Roman seine klangvolle Stimme.

Thomas Manns vierbändiger Josephsroman ist ein Gipfelwerk des 20. Jahrhunderts. Zwischen 1933 und 1943 erschienen, stand diese große biblische Erzählung von Anfang an konträr zur Nazi-Ideologie, sie eröffnet Perspektiven auf die Menschheitsgeschichte und gilt heute als großes Monument des Exils und der Humanität. Voller Schönheit und Erotik, humorvoll, subtil und detailreich erzählt Thomas Mann von Josephs Fall und vom Verrat durch die Brüder, von Gefangenschaft und Aufstieg in Ägypten.

Gert Westphal ist eine Legende: Die wohlklingende, modulationsreiche Stimme, sein untrügliches Gespür für Rhythmus, die souveränen Tempo- und Rollenwechsel, die kräftigen Dialektfarben - nicht umsonst hat die ZEIT ihn zum "König der Vorleser" gekürt. Besonders berühmt wurden seine Rezitationen Thomas Manns, dessen "oberster Mund" (Katja Mann) er war. In dieser Edition kann man wieder und wieder dessen großen Erzählungen und Romanen lauschen.
