The first volume of Selected Short Stories by Thomas Mann in classical translations by the outstanding Ukrainian translator Yevgeny Popovich. Foreword by Ukrainian poetess and journalist Olena Huseynova. In the work of Thomas Mann, short stories occupy a special place. It was short prose that became the basis of the writer's literary legacy — from his first literary debut and shortly before his own death. The author always returned to short stories. The first volume of the selected short story, to the sound of an opera by Richard Wagner, opens with the short story "Tristan". Then gracefully flows into an inseparable couple — "Tonio Kroeger" and "death in Venice". The artist's life in one story revolves around traveling from south to North, in another — from North to South. One journey ends in a fragile reconciliation, and the other in death. And the final chord of the first volume is the novel "Mario and The Wizard". The narrator describes his family's journey to the fictional seaside town of Torre di Venere, where he finds himself performing with a magician and hypnotist named Cipolla. But the charismatic shtukar uses his own abilities to control the audience in a very cruel and fascist way.
