Das Meisterwerk von Thomas Mann als vielstimmiges Hörspiel. Vier Generationen einer Lübecker Kaufmannsfamilie, die zum Inbegriff einer Seelengeschichte des deutschen Bürgertums wurden: Urgroßvater Johann Buddenbrook, tatkräftig und lebenstüchtig, repräsentiert noch das unerschütterte Lebensgefühl des 18. Jahrhunderts. Das Ansehen der Familie erreicht mit seinem Enkel Thomas, Senator Buddenbrook, ihren Höhepunkt.

The story of four generations of a wealthy bourgeois family in northern Germany facing the advent of modernity; in an uncertain new world, the family’s bonds and traditions begin to disintegrate. As Mann charts the Buddenbrooks’ decline from prosperity to bankruptcy, from moral and psychic soundness to sickly piety, artistic decadence, and madness, he ushers the listener into a world of stunning vitality, pieced together from births and funerals, weddings and divorces, recipes, gossip, and earthy humor.

Basada en su propia novela familiar, la historia anuncia además temas esenciales de su obra posterior.

Il primo grande romanzo di Thomas Mann racconta la storia di una famiglia tedesca dell'Ottocento che dopo anni di prosperità è esposta a una tragica decadenza: le basi di un patrimonio e di una potenza che sembravano incrollabili sono sgretolate da una forza ostinata e segreta.
