{"product_id":"lotte-in-weimar-thomas-mann-9780520070073","title":"Lotte in Weimar: The Beloved Returns","description":"Thomas Mann, fascinated with the concept of genius and with the richness of German culture, found in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe the embodiment of the German culture hero. Mann's novelistic biography of Goethe was first published in English in 1940. \u003ci\u003eLotte in Weimar\u003c\/i\u003e is a vivid dual portrait--a complex study of Goethe and of Lotte, the still-vivacious woman who in her youth was the model for Charlotte in Goethe's widely-read \u003ci\u003eThe Sorrows of Young Werther\u003c\/i\u003e. Lotte's thoughts, as she anticipates meeting Goethe again after forty years, and her conversations with those in Weimar who knew the great man, allow Mann to assess Goethe's genius from many points of view. Hayden White's fresh appraisal of the novel reveals its consonances with our own concerns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Mann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520070070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520070073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.76w x 1.25d","brand":"Thomas Mann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990204219647,"sku":"9780520070073","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_657350a5-78c9-4827-852a-465bcd1308a1.jpg?v=1683303593","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lotte-in-weimar-thomas-mann-9780520070073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
