BOOK LAUNCH: Introducing the Thomas Mann: Oxford World’s Classics Editions

The Goethe-Institut London is very pleased to be hosting the series editor and translators of the newest editions!

Join us at the Goethe-Institut London to hear directly from them how one of the twentieth century's great literary voices found a new one in English in the brand-new Oxford World’s Classics editions.

For his longer works, British readers have largely relied on the dedicated but now somewhat old-fashioned work of Helen Lowe-Porter. Oxford World’s Classics now presents fresh translations by various hands of three major novels and two collections of short stories, some of the latter little known even in Germany.

Each volume includes an introduction and notes by the general editor, Ritchie Robertson, and a short essay in which the translator reflects on the particular difficulties encountered.
