Mann's novelistic biography of Goethe was first published in English in 1940. \u003ci\u003eLotte in Weimar\u003c\/i\u003e is a vivid dual portrait--a complex study of Goethe and of Lotte, the still-vivacious woman who in her youth was the model for Charlotte in Goethe's widely-read \u003ci\u003eThe Sorrows of Young Werther\u003c\/i\u003e. Lotte's thoughts, as she anticipates meeting Goethe again after forty years, and her conversations with those in Weimar who knew the great man, allow Mann to assess Goethe's genius from many points of view. Hayden White's fresh appraisal of the novel reveals its consonances with our own concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHayden White\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of History of Consciousness, University of California, Santa Cruz and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Content of Form: Narrative Discourse and Historical Representation, Tropics of Discourse: Essays in Cultural Criticism\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMetahistory: The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Europe\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eThomas Mann\u003c\/b\u003e (1875-1955), winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929, wrote essays as well as some of the great fiction of the twentieth century, including \u003ci\u003eBuddenbrooks, The Magic Mountain, Death in Venice, Joseph and His Brothers, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDoctor Faustus\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 475\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25 x 8.44 x 5.76 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 12, 1990\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51752190312736,"sku":"9780520070073","price":66.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/29b05993256f5ff956f320ccb071f1bf.webp?v=1779989568","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/lotte-in-weimar-the-beloved-returns-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
