Description

Explore the profound connection between two giants of the twentieth century in this essential volume from the University of California Press. Arnold Schoenberg and Thomas Mann, leading figures in music and literature, shared a unique experience as members of the German-exile community in Los Angeles during the Nazi era. This complete edition brings their correspondence to life, offering a rare look into their private and public lives. Readers will follow the unfolding dialogue that leads to the famous dispute regarding Mann's novel, Doctor Faustus. The collection also highlights the role of Theodor Adorno, a philosopher whose involvement in the Faustus affair created lasting tension between the families involved. Gathered here for the first time in English, these letters provide a detailed historical account of intellectual life in exile. This book is a significant addition to the California Studies in 20th-Century Music series, making it a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts of music history and literature.
