Thomas Mann – Royal Highness (Sarayda Bir Macera) – Altın Kalem Yayınları 1981 Edition
Description:
This is the 1981 Turkish edition of Royal Highness (Sarayda Bir Macera) by Thomas Mann, published by Altın Kalem Yayınları. Originally published in 1909, the novel is a witty and satirical portrait of European aristocracy, monarchy, social class and the responsibilities that come with power.
The story follows Prince Klaus Heinrich, a young member of a small German grand-ducal family. Raised within the strict traditions of court life, Klaus Heinrich is accustomed to ceremony and public expectations but has little experience with ordinary life outside the palace. His world changes when he meets Imma Spoelmann, the intelligent and unconventional daughter of an extremely wealthy industrialist. Their relationship brings together two very different worlds: old aristocratic privilege and modern wealth.
Mann uses this unlikely romance to explore the contrast between tradition and modernity, wealth and nobility, personal freedom and social duty. The novel combines romance, humour and social satire, making it an engaging example of Mann's earlier literary style.
