Description: Weimar in Princeton by Stanley Corngold, Professor or Dr. Stanley Corngold Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "An evocative account of German âemigrâes in America in the wake of Nazism, centered around Thomas Manns early exile in Princeton and his encounters with a brilliant group of intellectuals, including Albert Einstein, Hermann Broch, and Erich Kahler, which came to be known as the Kahler Circle"-- Publisher Description Thomas Mann arrived in Princeton in 1938, in exile from Nazi Germany, and feted in his new country as "the greatest living man of letters." This beautiful new book from literary critic Stanley Corngold tells the little known story of Manns early years in America and his encounters with a group of highly gifted émigrés in Princeton, which came to be called the Kahler Circle, with Mann at its center. The Circle included immensely creative, mostly German-speaking exiles from Nazism, foremost Mann, Erich Kahler, Hermann Broch, and Albert Einstein, all of whom, during the Circles nascent years in Princeton, were "stupendously" productive.In clear, engaging prose, Corngold explores the traces the Circle left behind during Manns stay in Princeton, treating literary works and political statements, anecdotes, contemporary history, and the Circles afterlife. Weimar in Princeton portrays a fascinating scene of cultural production, at a critical juncture in the 20th century, and the experiences of an extraordinary group of writers and thinkers who gathered together to mourn a lost culture and to reckon with the new world in which they had arrived.
