Beschreibung
The present work on the Image of the Jew in Thomas Mann’s Stories is the
continuation, in a way the completion of the author’s previous work on
the Image of the Jew in Thomas Mann’s Novels. It covers a period in
Thomas Mann’s writing career not included in the previous work. What did
the young Thomas Mann think, how did he feel, about the presence of Jews
in German society? One will find the answer to these questions in the
short-stories “The Will for Happiness” (1896), “Gladius Dei” (1902),
“Tristan” (1903), “The Blood of the Walsungs” (1905).
Dr. Alexander Raviv is an attentive and discerning reader and a scrupulous
student of literature who does not neglect the emotional side of the
works he examines.
He holds his doctor’s degree from the University of Strasbourg.
