The newest novel by one of Britain's greatest novelists, Colm Toibin, a multiple Booker Prize finalist. "The Wizard" is a Nobel Prize-winning literary biography of the celebrated novelist Thomas Mann, author of "The Buddenbrokes" and "The Magic Mountain," "Death in Venice" and "Dr. Faustus." This is a family saga, covering more than half a century; here fit and childhood in patriarchal Lübeck, and youth in bohemian Munich, and family happiness, and impenetrable secrets of the inner world, and the First World War, and escape from the Nazi dictatorship, and the Second World War, and the beginning of the Cold War ... "'The Wizard' is not just a biography but a work of art, an emotional summation of a century of change, and at its center is a man who tries not to bend his back but is forever wavering in the winds of that change" (The Times).
