Sinossi

A Nobel laureate Thomas Mann presents a captivating exploration of the human psyche through the lens of two remarkable novellas.
"Tonio Kröger" unfolds the complex identity of its titular character, Tonio, the son of a North German merchant and a mother with Southern artistic talents. Struggling with feelings of superiority and envy, Tonio grapples with his dual heritage. As he matures into a renowned writer, his internal conflict intensifies, reinforcing the belief that the artist must exist as an outsider in "respectable" society.
In "Death in Venice," Mann introduces Gustav von Aschenbach, an esteemed writer who, during a visit to Venice, becomes liberated, uplifted, and increasingly obsessed by the sight of a beautiful Polish boy named Tadzio. The novella delves into themes of desire, aesthetics, and the transformative power of beauty. As Aschenbach's infatuation grows, so does the tension between the rational and the irrational, creating a psychological tapestry that explores the complexities of passion and its consequences.
Thomas Mann, known for his highly symbolic and ironic narrative style, weaves a rich tapestry of human emotions and existential dilemmas in these two novellas. The juxtaposition of "Tonio Kröger" and "Death in Venice" invites readers to delve into Mann's exploration of artistic identity, societal expectations, and the intricate threads of human psychology.

    The first full-length treatment of Ed Broadbent’s ideas and remarkable seven-decade engagement in public life
    		 
    Part memoir, part history, part political manifesto, Seeking Social Democracy offers the first full-length treatment of Ed Broadbent’s ideas and remarkable seven-decade engagement in public life. In dialogue with three collaborators from different generations, Broadbent leads readers through a life spent fighting for equality in Parliament and beyond: exploring the formation of his social democratic ideals, his engagement on the international stage, and his relationships with historical figures from Pierre Trudeau and Fidel Castro to Tommy Douglas, René Lévesque, and Willy Brandt. From the formative minority Parliament of 1972–1974 to the contentious national debate over Canada’s constitution to the free trade election of 1988, the book chronicles the life and thought of one of Canada’s most respected political leaders and public intellectuals from his childhood in 1930s Oshawa to the present day. Broadbent’s analysis also points toward the future, offering lessons to a new generation on how principles can inform action and social democracy can look beyond neoliberalism. The result is an engaging, timely, and sweeping analysis of Canadian politics, philosophy, and the nature of democratic leadership.
