The story of four generations of a wealthy bourgeois family in northern Germany facing the advent of modernity; in an uncertain new world, the family’s bonds and traditions begin to disintegrate.

Il primo grande romanzo di Thomas Mann racconta la storia di una famiglia tedesca dell'Ottocento che dopo anni di prosperità è esposta a una tragica decadenza: le basi di un patrimonio e di una potenza che sembravano incrollabili sono sgretolate da una forza ostinata e segreta.
