Mann wrote the novel Joseph and His Brothers (1943) over many years. He began working on the text in Munich and completed it in exile. To allow Mann to resume work on the novel, the writer's eldest daughter, Erika, risked returning to Nazi-infested Munich and retrieving the manuscript from her father's confiscated home. Today, Joseph and His Brothers is considered one of Mann's best works. In 1968, the novel was translated into Russian by Solomon Konstantinovich Apt (1921–2010), a Soviet and Russian philologist and translator of classical and German literature. Through Apt's translations, Soviet readers became acquainted with the works of Kafka, Hesse, Hoffmann, Aeschylus, Plato, and many other outstanding authors. Solomon Konstantinovich not only facilitated the publication of Mann's works in Russian but also wrote a biography of him in his book "Thomas Mann" (1972), and published a collection of his essays on his work, "Above the Pages of Thomas Mann" (1980). Apt received a number of awards and titles for his literary work. This edition features "Joseph and His Brothers" with color illustrations by the French painter, engraver, and portraitist
James (Jacques Joseph) Tissot (1836–1902).
