Buddenbrooks, volume 2 of 2 by Thomas Mann
"Buddenbrooks, volume 2 of 2" by Thomas Mann is a novel published in 1901. This volume continues the chronicle of a prominent north German merchant family's gradual decline across four generations, from 1835 to 1877. Drawing from Mann's own family history in Lübeck, the story explores the conflict between business duty and personal happiness as the Buddenbrooks face financial reversals, failed marriages, and shifting social values during Germany's rapid industrialization. The work
earned Mann the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
