History of the Manns and narrative art

近三年的《曼恩家族史与叙事艺术》研究，使曼恩家族活动的多方面变得清晰起来。我们发现，日常事务、政治、社会问题和艺术运动的复杂性决定了他们的创作和行为，因此，这一主题必须从多个角度加以探讨。这种情感倾向对他的作品和日常生活产生了很大的影响。2）托马斯曼的长女艾丽卡·曼不遗余力地说服美国人民相信纳蒂的罪恶。但她的呼吁不是正确的报道，而是一种宣传，只要它有一个明确的目标，美国应该被引导到反法西斯主义。这一事实向我们表明，她的存在确实是原创的，但与她的父亲相比是肤浅的。3）托马斯曼继续写他的日记。他的政治思想并不总是能适应新的形势。他的孩子们对形势的看法相当正确。但托马斯曼通过写日记来保持一种比政治行为更深刻、更有启发性的日常生活。4）海因里希·曼是托马斯曼的哥哥，他年轻时写了一部具有印象主义倾向的小说。当时，印象派绘画被市民接受，欧洲的富裕家庭购买了这些作品，对年轻作家产生了影响。因此，在家庭中，我们找到了创造生活的基础，也就是艺术的享受。

Researches in "History of the Manns and narrative art" in the last 3 years make the manifold of the familys activities clear. We found that complex of everydays affairs, politics, social problem and artistic movement gave shape to their writing work and acts, so this theme must be continually investigated from various viewpoints.We cite several instances.1) Thomas Mann loved his third daughter Elisabeth above all. And this emotional tendency has great influences on his works and daily life.2) Erika Mann, first daughter of Thomas Mann, made every effort to persuade american people of Nati's evildoing. But her appeal was not correct report but s sort of propaganda, so long as it had a clear aim that USA should be led to the Anti-fascism. This fact shows us that her existence was indeed original, but superficial as compared with her father.3) Thomas Mann continued writing his diary. His political thought didn't always adapt itself to the new conditions. His children saw the situation rather correctly. But by writing diary Thomas Mann keeped a daily life which was more profound and suggestive than political acts.4) Heinrich Mann, elder brother of Thomas Mann, wrote a novel which showed a tendency of impressionism, when he was young. Pictures of impressionism were accepted by the citizen in those days, and European rich families bought such works, which had then influences on young writers. So in the family we find a base of creating life, that is to say, enjoyment of arts.
