Описание: 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.

Описание: Famous for his novels, Thomas Mann is more accessible through the shorter fictions which span his entire career. The most famous of these stories is one of the earliest. Death in Venice was made into the celebrated Visconti film, but all his mature preoccupations are present in this story: the need for a sense of meaning in existence, the relationship between life and art, the central role of sexual energy and the strange forms it can take, the place of death and disease, the importance of work, the individual's complex relations with his society and the dominant culture. These themes are developed in a series of brilliant stories, may of them very short and displaying the author's talent for macabre comedy. Dr Faustus and Buddenbrooks are already available in Everyman.

Описание: Thomas Mann`s first great novel, written at the age of 25, is an epic study of decadence among the merchant families of Hamburg at the end of the nineteenth century. The novel is based on Mann`s own experience as the son of a German merchant prince, but it goes far beyond his own experience in its sweep and comprehensiveness.

Описание: A tale of genius in which Thomas Mann explores the artist's relation to life. First published in 1912, Death in Venice tells how Gustave von Aschenbach, a writer utterly absorbed in his work, arrives in Venice as the result of a 'youthfully ardent thirst for distant scenes', and meets a young boy by whose beauty he becomes obsessed. His pitiful pursuit of the object of his affection and its inevitable and pathetic climax are told here with the particular skill the author has for this shorter form of fiction.

Описание: This superb translation of Death in Venice and six other stories by Thomas Mann is a tour de force, deserving to be the definitive text for English-speaking readers. These seven stories represent Mann's early writing career and a level of literary quality Mann himself despaired of ever again matching. In these stories he began to grapple with themes that were to recur throughout his work. In Little Herr Friedemann, a character's carefully structured way of life is suddenly threatened by an unexpected sexual passion. In Gladius Dei, puritanical intellect clashes with beauty. In Tristan, Mann presents an ironic and comic account of the tension between an artist and bourgeois society.

All seven of these stories are accomplished and memorable, but it is Death in Venice that truly forms the centerpiece of the collection. The themes that Mann weaves through the shorter pieces come to a climax in this stunning novella, one of the most hauntingly magnificent tales of art and self-destruction ever written.

Описание: Diese Geschichte des alten Lübecker Patriziergeschlechtes Buddenbrook (in Firma Johann Buddenbrook), welche mit dem alten Johann Buddenbrook um 1830 einsetzt, endet mit dem kleinen Hanno, seinem Urenkel, in unseren Tagen. Sie umfasst Feste und Versammlungen, Taufen und Sterbestunden (besonders schwere und schreckliche Sterbestunden), Verheirathungen und Ehescheidungen, große Geschäftserfolge und die herzlosen unaufhörlichen Schläge des Niederganges, wie das Kaufmannsleben sie mit sich bringt...Auch der Letzte, der kleine Hanno, geht mit nach innen gekehrtem Blick umher, aufmerksam die innere seelische Welt belauschend, aus der seine Musik hervorströmt. In ihm ist noch einmal die Möglichkeit zu einem Aufstieg (freilich einem anderen als Buddenbrooks erhoffen) gegeben: Die unendlich gefährdete Möglichkeit eines großen Künstlerthums, die nicht in Erfüllung geht...

Описание: Geplant als Novelle, als heiteres Gegenstück zum 'Tod in Venedig', entstand mit dem 'Zauberberg' einer der großen Romane der klassischen Moderne. Ein kurzer Besuch in einem Davoser Sanatorium wird für den Protagonisten Hans Castorp zu einem siebenjährigen Aufenthalt, der Kurort wird zur Bühne für die europäische Befindlichkeit vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Im Juli 1913 begonnen, während des Krieges durch essayistische Arbeiten, vor allem durch die 'Betrachtungen eines Unpolitischen', unterbrochen, konnte der Roman 1924 abgeschlossen und veröffentlicht werden. Der Band 5 der 'Großen kommentierten Frankfurter Ausgabe' folgt dem Erstdruck.
