Buddenbrooks - Thomas Mann cacao and cottonWealthy, esteemed, and deeply rooted in tradition, the Buddenbrook family epitomises nineteenth century German bourgeois values. But as the tides of modernity and change sweep through Europe, their once stable world begins to crumble, along with the tenets on which the Buddenbrooks built their success. Spanning four generations, this semi autobiographical family epic records the transition of genteel Germanic stability to a very modern uncertainty.
