"Teacher Gnus" is a satirical novel by Heinrich Mann with the atmosphere of a German province on the eve of historical changes.The main character, teacher Nuss, nicknamed Gnus, is a small—time burgher who strives for career success from an early age, unquestioningly obeying authority and authority. Since childhood, he has shown conformity, cowardice, and a desire to obey the powerful. At the same time, the Abomination professes a double morality — for slaves and for masters, classifying himself as one of the latter and intending to live according to laws that differ from the moral laws of vulgar philistines."Teacher Gnus" is not only a psychological portrait of a malleable and cruel person, but also a subtle political allegory exposing the causes of totalitarianism.
