ISBN10: 0520296834, ISBN13: 9780520296831, [publisher: University of California Press, Berkerley] Softcover Paperback. Arnold Schoenberg and Thomas Mann, two towering figures of twentieth-century music and literature, both found refuge in the German-exile community in Los Angeles during the Nazi era. This complete edition of their correspondence provides a glimpse inside their private and public lives and culminates in the famous dispute over Manns novel Doctor Faustus. In the thick of the controversy was Theodor Adorno, then a budding philosopher, whose contribution to the Faustus affair would make him an enemy of both families. Gathered here for the first time in English, the letters in this essential volume are complemented by diary entries, related articles, and other primary source materials, as well as an introduction by German studies scholar Adrian Daub that contextualizes the impact these two great artists had on twentieth-century thought and culture. Previously published in German as: Apropos Doktor Faustus. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
