À época do lançamento de Sua Alteza Real (1909), Thomas Mann já era um escritor respeitado pelos seus muitos contos, novelas e pelo seu estrondoso romance de estreia, Os Buddenbrooks (1901). Suas obras vendiam bastante e desde muito cedo o anúncio de um novo livro ou qualquer outra produção que estava realizando causava grande expectativa. CrÃtica completa: https://www.planocritico.com/critica-sua-alteza-real-de-thomas-mann/ ( ) While RH is a story about a prince and his princess, it is completely absurd to call this novel a "fairy tale." RH is, at most, a modern telling of a chivalric romance, more along the lines of Zola and Lawrence than anything by the brother's Grimm. The work of an obviously young Mann, RH shows much of the style and depth of his later works. Beautiful and brilliant, Royal Highness rings with literary excellence.
"L'Altesse royale ("Königliche Hoheit" en allemand) est un roman de Thomas Mann, publié pour la première fois en 1909. L'histoire est une exploration satirique de la vie et de l'état d'esprit d'un monarque européen au début du XXe siècle. Le roman suit les expériences du jeune prince Klaus Heinrich, héritier de la petite principauté allemande de Grimmburg. Malgré son statut royal, le prince lutte contre un sentiment d'isolement et un manque de liberté personnelle. Il est parfaitement conscient de son rôle cérémoniel et des attentes placées en lui par ses sujets et la royauté voisine. En naviguant dans les méandres de la vie de cour, le prince se retrouve mêlé à des intrigues politiques et amoureuses. Le récit se caractérise par le style ironique et satirique de Mann, qui propose un examen critique des conventions et des rituels associés à la monarchie. "L'altesse royale" est une exploration sociale et psychologique des charges et des limites imposées par la royauté, qui utilise l'humour et l'esprit pour commenter la nature du pouvoir, l'identité et le conflit entre les désirs personnels et le devoir public. Les premières œuvres de Thomas Mann préparent le terrain pour les thèmes plus complexes et philosophiques qu'il explorera dans ses romans ultérieurs. Belongs to Publisher Series

HTML: For his Royal Highness Klaus Heinrich, prince of a small German duchy, life means servitude to traditional ducal functionsâ??until he meets the independent-spirited and liberal-minded American Miss Spoelmann. During the course of his unorthodox and quixotically tender wooing, Heinrich is forced to reach into unknown depths of his personality and discover the real meaning of the word 'duty'. Peopled with a range of characters from aristocrat to artisan, Royal Highness provides a microcosmic view of Europe before the Great War. Mann's charming fable of a decaying, stratified society rejuvenated by modern forces illustrates what he regarded as a universal truth: that ripeness and death are necessary conditions for rebirth.
