Brief von Thomas Mann Cremeweißes Papier, beidseitig handschriftlich beschrieben, sign. und dat. "24. Februar 1954". Brief des Schriftstellers Thomas Mann (1875 -1955) an den Intendanten des Landestheaters Dessau, Willy Bodenstein (1901 – 1981). Mit Umschlag. 21 cm x 14 cm.
Thomas Mann, der für die Einladung zur Wagner-Festwoche des Landestheaters in Dessau dankt und ein “festliches Gelingen” wünscht, obgleich er die Einladung ablehnen muss, weil er nicht mehr “jung und beweglich genug dazu ist”, beschreibt sein Verhältnis zu “Wagners Riesenwerk” als “kritischen Enthusiasmus” und freut sich, dass er in Form seines Aufsatzes “Richard Wagner und der Ring der Nibelungen”, der in der zugehörigen Festschrift erscheint, und somit “geistig ein wenig zu der Veranstaltung (…) beitragen” kann.
Letter by the author Thomas Mann to Willy Bodenstein, intendant of the Landestheater Dessau, signed and dated 1954. With envelope.
