Ilustration Toward Books Tonio Kröger
A title in the Bristol Classical Press German Texts series, in German with English notes, vocabulary and introduction. Thomas Mann (1875-1955), was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1929, and "Tonio Kroger" occupies a central position in his spiritual and artistic development. A study of youth, it draws together many strands of his life and work: the duality of his parentage; his abhorrence of discipline; and the influence of Schopenhauer and Wagner on his early phase of writing.Mention Books In Pursuance Of Tonio Kröger

This book contains two stories, 'Tonio Kröger' and 'Mario und der Zauberer'.The first one is IMO better than the second one, although its middle part is quite boring. Overall one can say that the author presumeably put more effort into the prose than the actual plot (which was *kinda* alright at the end though). A solid 3 stars.The second story is boring. very boring. The last 7 pages or so were arguably the best, most interesting, disturbing and also kinda satisfying. The ~50 pages before areA coming-of-age novella. Short & sweet. I identify with Tonio's feeling of marginalization . . . I am not a mix-blood, but I happen to be bilingual. I suggest you read this along with Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther. Both are written by German authors, both are about the young protagonist's life and love. As you can see by the number of stars, I like Tonio better, but I'd love to hear your opinion. (I read this, and Werther, in Japanese translation. English translation should be
Read this if you aspire to be an artist, to take that cold fruitless demeanor and slather it with an artless endeavor for the life, for the bright ones who dance in three-fourths, if you long for your same parents and for perhaps a degradation or uplifting of humanity within yourself.
The author presents us with gusto, in this very short novel, typical moments of ideals by existential growth of a bourgeois artist named Tonio Kröger.The latter, tossed by the winds and tides where the boat of his existence bathes, faces his anguish, preserving as best he can the unstable equilibrium of his sensitive soul.He takes both reflection and immediacy seriously, persisting almost heroically in keeping them both in existential tension, instead of unifying them into a comfortable gloom.

Tonio Kröger is the first work that I read of Mann's world. I am glad I did. An autobiographical novel in which profound, artistic and literary character of Thomas Mann is demonstrated in the form of unaccepted loves, first in his childhood (Hans Hansen) and second in his adolescence (Ingeborg Holm), both blondes with blue eyes who could never understand the melancholic, poetic face of an artist. As he grows up, in his thirty, Tonio Kröger who is now a great literary writer rediscovers his
This short novel, written in 1901, is the story of a writer's struggle for meaning and fulfillment in life and art. His artistic pursuits alienate him from the perceived joys of ordinary life. The people he admires the most are socialites who have no interest in art. He is drawn to their physical beauty (as defined by the northern German culture of the late 1800s) and awed by their social confidence. Though he has committed himself to the creative life, and knows his works will be recognized, he
