Mit Thomas Mann durch das Jahr - Buchpremiere

In the organizer's words:

Panel discussion at the book premiere

"Great reluctance to do anything in the afternoon."

Thomas Mann is considered a prime example of discipline, a diligent, unwavering worker in his daily homework. But his diaries show a different picture: between morning tiredness and an upset stomach, the self-imposed writing workload had to be wrested from his own body anew every day - sometimes with success, much more often without.

Felix Lindner, known for his X-account "Thomas Mann Daily", has compiled 365 short quotes from Thomas Mann's diaries in his humorous book "Mit Thomas Mann durch das Jahr" (S. Fischer Verlag): Yes, Thomas Mann had people, had women around him who did the housework for him and protected him from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. And yet Thomas Mann was not a calm "magician" whose sentences just flowed from his pen. Like all of us, he was tired and annoyed, plagued by doubts and constantly distracted by life beyond books.
