Hard Hour

XX. Thomas Mann, who is considered one of the greatest writers of the century, is among the indispensable books of literature readers all over the world.


The Hard Hour - Collected Stories I is a book written by Thomas Mann between 1893 and 1912, including "Little Mr. Friedemann". It contains 23 stories, including famous examples such as "Tristan" and "The Hard Hour", which gave its name to this book.

Thomas Mann brought a new breath to storytelling in the German language and used realistic details effectively. He places a picture he sees or a piece of music he listens to at the center of the story and feeds it with an impressive and believable plot. While his stories have autobiographical features, they also capture universality. The author, who is a good observer of the century he lives in, is a master at reflecting these observations in his works. The common themes in his stories can be summarized as "the desire to possess what he does not have" and "the pain suffered by the artist".
The Hard Hour is a book not to be missed for story lovers who wonder how Thomas Mann, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929, started his writing adventure.
