Representaion Supposing Books Mario and the Magician

Mario and the Magician is one of Mann's most political stories.

Stalin had just seized power in Russia, Mussolini was urging Italians to recapture the glory of the Roman Empire, and Hitler with his rhetoric was quickly gaining steam in Germany.

Thrown into a sour atmosphere the first person narrator has no difficulties in making you feel apart from things happening in an Italian small town. The oppression at the grande finale works, everything seems to bow to the whiplash, even your hopes for a peaceful outcome.

Nobel Prize laureate and fabulous anti-Nazi intellectual Thomas Mann constructs a striking although rather superficial allegory about the power of fascism. Ive shelved this on my These Fragile Lives shelf but really I should have created a new shelf for it entitled These Fragile Minds, So Easily Hypnotized and Led Astray. The novel describes a familys unpleasant summer spent in sweltering southern Italy. Over the course of their vacation they encounter repulsive fawning towards royalty from
