Tonio Kröger by Thomas Mann

"Tonio Kröger" by Thomas Mann is a novella written in 1901. The story follows a man caught between two worlds: his merchant father's bourgeois respectability and his artistic mother's creative spirit. As Tonio grows from schoolboy to celebrated writer, he struggles with feeling both superior to and envious of ordinary people's innocent vitality. His journey from south to north Germany forces him to confront a troubling question: must the artist always remain an outsider to respectable society? Mann explores the costs of artistic life through this deeply autobiographical portrait. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
