Collected Stories (Everyman's Library)

I do love the collected set of stories.

If you like T.M. you will of course like this book. If you don't you won't.Simple as that! ok

It will be of interest to note that this H T Lowe-Porter translation contains largely the contents of her TM Stories of Three Decades (1946). The omission is Felix Krull (the 1912 fragment): the additions are The Transposed Heads (1940); The Tables of the Law (1944) & The Black Swan (1953).There is also a useful introduction by Daniel Johnson; a Select Bibliography & Thomas Mann Chronology, in the typical Everyman's Library formatIn all it is a useful addition for readers in possession of the complete Felix Krull (1954).This hardback edition of 870 pages is a joy to hold and read.

Nice collection, not actually complete. Mann is unnecessarily ponderous and pompous, but at their best the short stories emit a sombre and sinister glow.

本の状態はたいへんきれいでした。ただ、どういうわけか水が染み込んでいて表紙がぐずぐずになっていたり、カバーにカビが出て汚されていました。でも、日にちをかけて丁寧に乾かしたら、表紙もしっかりとかたくなりました。

What a writer! One of the best

Good quality with bookmarker and the other hallmarks of a Everyman's Library title. Only qualm is the spine design is from the previous generation rather than the current series.
