Thomas Mann arrived in Princeton in 1938, in exile from Nazi
Germany, and feted in his new country as "the greatest living man
of letters." This beautiful new book from literary critic Stanley
Corngold tells the little known story of Mann's early years in
America and his encounters with a group of highly gifted emigres in
Princeton, which came to be called the Kahler Circle, with Mann at
its center. The Circle included immensely creative, mostly
German-speaking exiles from Nazism, foremost Mann, Erich Kahler,
Hermann Broch, and Albert Einstein, all of whom, during the
Circle's nascent years in Princeton, were "stupendously"
productive. In clear, engaging prose, Corngold explores the traces
the Circle left behind during Mann's stay in Princeton, treating
literary works and political statements, anecdotes, contemporary
history, and the Circle's afterlife. Weimar in Princeton portrays a
fascinating scene of cultural production, at a critical juncture in
the 20th century, and the experiences of an extraordinary group of
writers and thinkers who gathered together to mourn a lost culture
and to reckon with the new world in which they had arrived.
