The Little Gentleman Friedemann

By: Mann, Thomas

In The Little Gentleman Friedemann (1897), Thomas Mann delivers a dazzling tale in which desire, passion and fragility come together with rare intensity. At the heart of the story is a young man marked by disability who tries to lead a quiet life, until the arrival of a fascinating woman turns his inner world upside down. Between impossible attraction and secret wounds, this novella reveals all the emotional power of Mann's early writings.

Still little known to English-speaking readers, this work stands out for the astonishing maturity of its 22-year-old author. It offers a sensitive and subtle introduction to Mann's universe, where emotion, psychological insight and inner tension already occupy an essential place.
