Tonio Kröger was published at the beginning of the twentieth century. And since it is generally considered Thomas Mann’s most autobiographical work, this novella serves as a kind of testimony.
Tonio Kröger, like his peers, feels from a very young age what it means to be different. He is an artist of the twentieth century who lives away from the people of action, from all those who stand with both feet on the ground, who consume themselves in their affairs and materially promote their environment – but abandon the spirit.
Meanwhile, the world has changed radically, even the bourgeois have transformed, and artists of every category have nothing in common with those of Thomas Mann's era. So what remains from this novella and what makes it still so attractive?
First of all, its poetic power and its musical quality, which have hardly faded. Anyone interested in knowing Thomas Mann’s work cannot bypass this book, because it contains in seed form some of his masterpieces.
However, the characteristic feature of this novella that differentiates it from his other works and makes it irresistibly charming is the element of nostalgia. It is a polyphonic and colorful nostalgia for the simple and ordinary, for warm human friendship, for lost innocence, nature, homeland, love.
(From the Introduction by Alexandros Isaris)
