"Corngold offers a shrewd and balanced take on a much-studied figure. This sharp, focused work will impress historians and scholars of German literature."
"Corngold documents, in depth and with an excellent eye for detail, [an] important stage in Mann’s American life. . . . The picture of Mann that emerges from his book is rich, multilayered and always fascinating."---Costica Bradatan, Washington Post
"[The book] shows how great novelist Thomas Mann fared after fleeing Hitler’s Germany. He understood how German conservatives feared Communism, backed Hitler as a bulwark against the Bolsheviks, and learned too late that the Fuhrer’s fury was as deadly as Stalin’s."---Marvin Olasky, World
"This well-written study provides an in-depth account of Thomas Mann’s tenure at Princeton. . . . Corngold’s book is a welcome contribution."
"A vivid testimony to the profound disconcertions of a life and mind in transit and offers an immensely insightful account of the intellectual and personal quandaries that preoccupied Thomas Mann in Princeton."---Margarete Tiessen, German History
"Absorbing."---Alex Ross, The Rest is Noise
Stanley Corngold is professor emeritus of German and comparative literature at Princeton University. His many books include Walter Kaufmann: Philosopher, Humanist, Heretic and Lambent Traces: Franz Kafka (both Princeton).
