About this eBook

Author Mann, Thomas, 1875-1955
Title Tristan
Credits Produced by Martin Agren, Brett Koonce and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team
Summary "Tristan" by Thomas Mann is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a sanatorium called Einfried, where various characters, each with distinct ailments, navigate their experiences as patients. Central to the narrative is Gabriele Klöterjahn, a young woman suffering from health issues following childbirth, and Detlev Spinell, a mysterious writer whose interactions with her hint at deeper emotional and psychological themes. The opening of "Tristan" introduces the sanatorium Einfried and its atmosphere, detailing its structure and environment designed for healing. The chief physician, Dr. Leander, is portrayed as a pragmatic and somewhat distant figure, while the novel's characters, such as the industrious Fräulein von Osterloh and the vibrant but sickly Gabriele Klöterjahn, illustrate the diverse clientele seeking treatment. As Gabriele settles into her new surroundings, her interactions with the eccentric Spinell suggest a blossoming yet complicated relationship, hinting at themes of beauty, illness, and existential contemplation which will likely unfold as the story progresses. Through vivid character portrayals and a richly described setting, Mann sets the stage for an exploration of human frailty and desire amidst the backdrop of suffering.
