Thomas Mann Thomas Mann was a German Novelist and critic from the early 20th-century literature, whose novels explore the relationship between the exceptional individual and his or her environment of family or of the world in general. Thomas Mann was born on June 6, 1875, in Lubeck. After his father died, the family moved to Munich, where Thomas was educated. He was a clerk in an insurance office in Munich and served on the staff of a writing team. This was before he realized he was going to be a professional writer. Two German philosophers, Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche, influenced him, although he rejected the ideas of the later. Mann’s fiction is characterized by accurate reproduction of the details of both modern and ancient life, by profound and subtle intellectual analysis of ideas and characters, and by a detached, somewhat ironic, point of view combined with a deep sense of the tragic. His heroes are often of the bourgeois class, undergoing a spiritual conflict. Mann explored also the psychology of the creative artist. A number of short stories preceded the writing of his first important novel, Buddenbrooks in 1901, where he won the Noble Piece Prize later in 1929. Buddenbrooks was a bourgeois novel, for the century it portrays was above all a bourgeois era. It depicts a society neither so great as to bewilder the observer, nor so small and narrow as to stifle him.
