Recounts the enchanted career of the con man extraordinaire Felix Krull--a man unhampered by the moral precepts that govern the conduct of ordinary people.

在瑞士风景如画的阿尔卑斯山，有一所名闻遐尔的国际疗养院，年轻的主人公去探望生病的表兄，不料却身不由己，一住七年。须知，那是一座魔山！在魔山中，他不仅遇见了许多不寻常的人和事，尝到了爱情与生离死别的酸甜苦辣，还跟游荡在山中的叔本华、尼采等的精神幽灵对过话……七年后，当他终于冲出魔山时，已判若两人。“魔山”实际上是本世纪初动荡不安的欧洲的缩影。
长篇小说《魔山》是１９２９年诺贝尔文学奖得主托马斯·曼（１８７５－１９５５）的主要代表作，堪称这位大文豪创作生涯乃至德语现代文学史上的一块里程碑，是最早将现实主义和现代主义手法相结合的现代经典。

《世界文学名著典藏(全译本):魔山》的主人公汉斯·卡斯托普是一个刚毕业的年轻人。他到瑞士达沃斯山顶疗养院探望表兄约阿希姆，计划停留三周，可是他在疗养院一住就是七年。若不是爆发了第一次世界大战，也许还会无限期地待下去。他滞留在疗养院表面上是因为感冒和医生的恶劣医德，其实是他迷恋上了这里的生活。这里的人病态而怪诞，少妇克拉芙吉娅·苏夏更使他着迷。人文主义者塞特姆布里尼反对他陶醉于音乐和形而上学，劝他远离苏夏，离开疗养院，他却充耳不闻，反而越陷越深。和塞特姆布里尼争夺汉斯的除了苏夏，还有耶稣会会士纳夫塔。他是宣传虚无主义、鼓吹专政和暴力、自称无产阶级代言人的诡辩家。为了抵消纳夫塔对汉斯的影响，使之信奉文艺复兴和启蒙运动确立的资产阶级世界观，塞特姆布里尼在各个思想领域与纳夫塔进行了辩论。汉斯在论战中摇摆不定，既觉得有意思，又充满了困惑：他有时讨厌人文主义者的喋喋不休，有时又对这理性的导师感激涕零；一会儿对宗教虔敬万分，一会儿又对其冷嘲热讽。最终打败这两位雄辩大师的是来自荷兰的咖啡种植园主皮伯科恩，他在情人苏夏的陪同下来到疗养院。他思想简单、话无整句，食与色就是他生活和思想的全部；他带来了接连不断的宴会、舞会，在他面前，雄辩家们矮了一截。可他却因为阳萎而自杀，苏夏也因此离开疗养院，那些交往甚密的朋友也各奔东西。生活把汉斯的幻想一个个击得粉碎，使他感到痛苦和孤独。历史用战争打断了卡斯托普丧失了时间的梦，并猛然把他抛到了一战战场上，成为战争的牺牲品。

The information world has undergone drastic changes since the publication of the 3rd edition of The Oxford Guide to Library Research in 2005, and Thomas Mann, a veteran reference librarian at the Library of Congress, has extensively revised his text to reflect those changes. This book will answer two basic questions: First, what is the extent of the significant research resources you will you miss if you confine your research entirely, or even primarily, to sources available on the open Internet? Second, if you are trying to get a reasonably good overview of the literature on a particular topic, rather than just "something quickly" on it, what are the several alternative methods of subject searching―which are not available on the Web―that are usually much more efficient for that purpose than typing keywords into a blank search box, with the results displayed by relevance-ranking computer algorithms?
This book shows researchers how to do comprehensive research on any topic. It explains the variety of search mechanisms available, so that the researcher can have the reasonable confidence that s/he has not overlooked something important. This includes not just lists of resources, but discussions of the ways to search within them: how to find the best search terms, how to combine the terms, and how to make the databases (and other sources) show relevant material even when you don't know how to specify the best search terms in advance. The book's overall structuring by nine methods of searching that are applicable in any subject area, rather than by subjects or by types of literature, is unique among guides to research. Also unique is the range and variety of concrete examples of what to do―and of what not to do.
The book is not "about" the Internet: it is about the best alternatives to the Internet―the sources that are not on the open Web to begin with, that can be found only through research libraries and that are more than ever necessary for any kind of substantive scholarly research. More than any other research guide available, this book directly addresses and provides solutions to the serious problems outlined in recent studies documenting the profound lack of research skills possessed by today's "digital natives."

The world-famous masterpiece by Nobel laureate Thomas Mann -- here in a new translation by Michael Henry Heim Published on the eve of World War I, a decade after "Buddenbrooks" had established Thomas Mann as a literary celebrity, "Death in Venice" tells the story of Gustav von Aschenbach, a successful but aging writer who follows his wanderlust to Venice in search of spiritual fulfillment that instead leads to his erotic doom. In the decaying city, besieged by an unnamed epidemic, he becomes obsessed with an exquisite Polish boy, Tadzio. "It is a story of the voluptuousness of doom," Mann wrote. "But the problem I had especially in mind was that of the artist's dignity."

数字时代，
我们还需要去实体图书馆吗？
美国国会图书馆参考馆员托马斯•曼
以自己数十年服务读者的亲身经历给出了明确答案
——并非所有信息都能在网上找到，网络资源检索也远非一个回车那么轻松，
看完作者介绍的各种检索方法和技巧，以及各种检索实例，你才会明白
——我们其实从未好好利用过图书馆！
在浩瀚的知识海洋中，成功的探索者既要能驾驭高速艇驶往预定目标，也要能划着小船从容搜寻；既要掌握最新的网络和电子资源的检索手段，也要学会用传统方法从纸本书刊中获得资源。在短期内不可能将书刊完全转化为电子资源的中国尤其如此，这就是我推荐这本极富运用价值的工具书的理由。
——葛剑雄，复旦大学教授、图书馆前馆长
只要图书馆员具备真功夫，能够解决或协助解决读者在阅读、检索、研究中遇到的问题，那么，谷歌和度娘可以成为图书馆员的助手，却不能替代他们。读《怎样利用图书馆做研究》可以学习、掌握这些真功夫。
——周德明，上海图书馆副馆长
这本富有洞察力的及时力作应该立于每一位研究者的案头。托马斯•曼以高超的技巧引领学者们遨游于数字时代的海量资料之中，同时又告诉我们，作为保存所有人类知识的场所，图书馆的关键作用并不会消失。
——保罗•勒克拉克，纽约公共图书馆馆长
这本书对任何领域的研究者（不管他是出于学术的、专业的、商业的还是消遣的目的）、图书馆专业的学生和专业人员都有着巨大的实用价值和启示。这是唯一一本成功地将文献工作与知识信息的组织和提取的各种要素相结合的书。普通读者能够读懂，而那些在图书馆和相关领域的专业人士也能借此书提升他们的技巧和理解水平。
——迈克尔•戈尔曼，美国图书馆协会主席

Der Tod in Venedig ist eine Novelle von Thomas Mann (1912), entstanden zwischen Juli 1911 und Juli 1912.

A Major Literary Event: a brilliant new translation of Thomas Mann's first great novel, one of the two for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1929.
Buddenbrooks, first published in Germany in 1900, when Mann was only twenty-five, has become a classic of modem literature -- the story of four generations of a wealthy bourgeois family in northern Germany. With consummate skill, Mann draws a rounded picture of middle-class life: births and christenings; marriages, divorces, and deaths; successes and failures. These commonplace occurrences, intrinsically the same, vary slightly as they recur in each succeeding generation. Yet as the Buddenbrooks family eventually succumbs to the seductions of modernity -- seductions that are at variance with its own traditions -- its downfall becomes certain.
In immensity of scope, richness of detail, and fullness of humanity, Buddenbrooks surpasses all other modem family chronicles; it has, indeed, proved a model for most of them. Judged as the greatest of Mann's novels by some critics, it is ranked as among the greatest by all. Thomas Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1929.
From the Hardcover edition.

'The Tables of the Law' recounts the early life of Moses, his preparations for leading his people out of Egypt, the exodus itself and the incidents at the oasis Kadesh, and the engraving of the stone tables of the law at Sinai.

Der Tod in Venedig is a symbol-laden story of aestheticism & decadence, exemplifying the author's regard for Sigmund Freud's writings on the unconscious. Gustav von Aschenbach is a revered author whose work is known for its discipline & formal perfection. At his Venetian hotel he encounters the strikingly handsome young teenager Tadzio. Aschenbach is disturbed by his attraction to the boy. Altho he watches Tadzio, he doesn't dare speak to him. Despite warnings of a cholera epidemic Aschenbach stays in Venice.

This remarkable new translation of the Nobel Prize-winner’s great masterpiece is a major literary event.
Thomas Mann regarded his monumental retelling of the biblical story of Joseph as his magnum opus. He conceived of the four parts–The Stories of Jacob, Young Joseph, Joseph in Egypt, and Joseph the Provider–as a unified narrative, a “mythological novel” of Joseph’s fall into slavery and his rise to be lord over Egypt. Deploying lavish, persuasive detail, Mann conjures for us the world of patriarchs and pharaohs, the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Palestine, and the universal force of human love in all its beauty, desperation, absurdity, and pain. The result is a brilliant amalgam of humor, emotion, psychological insight, and epic grandeur.
Now the award-winning translator John E. Woods gives us a definitive new English version of Joseph and His Brothers that is worthy of Mann’s achievement, revealing the novel’s exuberant polyphony of ancient and modern voices, a rich music that is by turns elegant, coarse, and sublime.

托马斯·曼是20世纪德国文坛最耀眼的巨星，他的作品具有广泛的世界影响；他于1929年获得诺贝尔文学奖。本书场面宏大，人物众多；它由两条主线构成：描写主人公汉斯同少妇克拉芙吉亚及富商皮佩尔科尔恩问的三角恋爱，揭示生与死，灵与肉之间的矛盾；围绕民主主义者与军国主义分子间的争斗，反映第一次世界大战前德国知识分子的精神面貌和不同思想观点的对立。大学生汉斯来到高山肺病疗养院探望表兄约阿希姆，不料自己也染上了肺病，只好留下治疗。疗养院里的人来自四面八方，性格迥然，思想各异。汊斯是个有理想的青年，可是同这些人交往后，思想变得混乱，精神变得消沉了；俄国女子克拉芙吉亚更使他神魂颠倒。他忘记了事业和重任，高山成了一座“魔山”，他深陷其中不能自拔。转眼七年过去了，表兄病死，克拉芙吉亚离去，那些交往甚密的朋友也各奔东西，生活把他的幻想一个个击得粉碎，使他感到痛苦和孤独。世界大战的炮火把他震醒，回首往事，汉斯觉得自己是在“魔山”上昏睡了七年，于是他毅然决然地踏上了奔赴前线的征途……

...the best of the letters present us with two fundamentally decent, sophisticated men grieving for the ruined world. In the 1930s and 1940s, they rail against the stupidity of war and the cowardice of diplomats, against the social savagery of the Nazis, against the blind forces of abstraction and nationalism. They brood about the fate of Germany and of Europe after the last shots have been fired. They have lived through a time of extraordinary horror and yet they have not surrendered to despair or nihilism. Reading the letters, I feel like some privileged guest in a special room, sitting off to the side somewhere, listening while these men talk. A fire burns in a fireplace. Through the windows I can see snow falling against a dark sky. We are in the country of exile. Neither man has given up hope. Art will prevail, they insist. Civilization will prevail. Music will drive off the explosive rumble of artillery. Life will defeat death. Listen to them: they are speaking truth. Nothing else matters.
