Heinrich Mann

Died in 1950

Heinrich Mann was born in 1871 in Lübeck, the eldest son of a grain merchant who became a senator of the city, and elder brother of Thomas Mann. After an apprenticeship as a bookseller, he became a writer and spent long periods in Italy. His novels satirise the bourgeoisie of the German Empire; opposed to the Great War, he fell out with his brother over an essay on Zola. President of the poetry section of the Prussian Academy of Arts, he was expelled from it in 1933, stripped of his nationality, and made his way to France, then to the United States. He died in Santa Monica in 1950.
