Title: Thomas Mann Writes of Penning ""Buddenbrooks"" in Solitude and Reflects Philosophically on the Impact of his Work Worldwide
Author: Thomas Mann
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 16/04/1936. An incredibly rare and unpublished letter relating to his perhaps most famous work1936 was a momentous year for Mann. That year, his escalated attacks on the Nazi government led to his German citizenship being revoked. He traveled to Argentina, his maternal homeland, for a PEN International Conference, which was organized to bring peace and understanding between cultures using literature.In 1900, at the age of 25, Thomas Mann wrote and in 1901 published Buddenbrooks, chronicling the decline of a wealthy north German merchant family over the course of four generations. Mann drew deeply from the history of his own family, the Mann family of Lübeck, and their times. It was Mann's first novel and it made him a major literary figure. The work led to a Nobel Prize in Literature for Mann in 1929; although the Nobel award generally recognizes an author's body of work, the Swedish Academy's citation for Mann identified ""his great novel Buddenbrooks"" as the principal reason for his prize. Mann began writing the book in October 1897, when he was twenty-two years old. The novel was completed three years later, in July 1900, and published in October 1901.Henry Hart was an American publisher who worked mainly for Scribner's in New York. He was working with Mann on the publication of English-language versions of his works, including Nocturns.Typed letter signed, in German, to Hart, April 16, 1936.""I am hurrying to acknowledge receipt of your check from August 25th and am happy that sales of the “Nocturnes” are gradually progressing.""You have added some very personal notes to your letter hat I would like to address with a few words. The trip to Moscow I will definitely make, but will have to postpone it for now, since I have travel plans to Vienna and Budapest in the immediate future. For the summer I have agreed to travel to Bueno Aires for the PEN Club Congress. I had committed to this trip a while ago, and therefore have to travel there first. This trip is especially enticing to me, since it will take me to Rio de Janeiro. It is the home of my mother, who often told me about the beauty of the coast when I was a child.""I was very touched about what you told me regarding your repeated studies of the novel of my youth. I finished it when I was 25 years old. The young man who wrote that book in his solitude, could not have dreamed that it would be his calling in life to influence the intellectual life of people in a foreign continent in a educating and encouraging way. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you have happy and beautiful ideas for your work and am repeating my request to please send me a copy your book, once it is printed.""

Title: There'll Be a Jubilee!
Author: Ramos-Harris, Ethel
Seller: Langdon Manor Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: New Kensington, Pa: The Ramos-Harris Music Publishing Co, 1953. Very good. 12” x 9”. Bifolium printed all four sides + loose printed leaf of music + laid in modern photocopy of funeral program of composer. Pp. 3. Very good: moderate edge wear and a few tears repaired with scotch tape; inscribed by the composer on the cover. This unrecorded sheet music documents a female composer, Ethel Ramos-Harris, her publishing company, and the dedication of Delta Sigma Theta's national headquarters. The little we know of Ramos-Harris comes from the included copy of her funeral program which states that she was born in Rhode Island in 1905 and that she was a “composer, concert pianist, radio artist, teacher, lecturer, civic and social leader.” She graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music in 1927 and in 1933 began her radio career as the 'Sophisticated Lady' on Station KDKA in Pittsburgh. She also gave concerts throughout the United States and internationally, and claimed 41 copyrights of musical compositions. She was the treasurer of the National Association of Negro Women and the funeral program also shared: “her musical career was multidimensional from the concert hall, to fashion concerts where she performed and modeled her own clothes, to Broadway where she rehearsed for 'Leave it to Me,' with Sophie Tucker and 'Caribbean Cruise' with Martha Raye. In Pittsburgh she was the pianist for productions of the National Negro Opera Company. Rather then leave her family, she declined an opportunity to tour with the European company of 'Porgy and Bess.'” The only known published work by an important but lesser known African American composer and civic leader. OCLC locates no copies, nor anything else by the publisher.
