Royal Highness is one of Thomas Mann's most powerful stories of a decaying stratified society rejuvenated by modern forces.
For His Royal Highness Prince Klaus Heinrich the modus Vivendi means servitude to ducal functions, which he graces with unthinking obedience..till he meets the rich, exotic and liberal-minded Miss Spoelmann, who possesses her fair share of spirit and a far wider experience of the world. During the course of his unorthodox and quixotically tender wooing, Klaus Heinrich, forced to reach into unknown depths of his personality, comes to find a truer existence and the real meaning of the word 'duty'.
He was only twenty-five when Buddenbrooks, his first major novel, was published. Before it was banned and burned by Hitler, it had sold over a million copies in Germany alone. His second great novel, The Magic Mountain, was published in 1924 after twelve years of labour. In 1926 the chance request of a Munich artist for an introduction to a portfolio of Joseph drawings was the genesis of the tetraolgy Joseph and his Brothers, the first volume of which was published in 1933. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1929.
In 1933 Thomas Mann left Germany to live for a time in Switzerland. Then, after several previous visits, in 1938 he settled in the United States, living first in Princetown, New Jersey, and later in California, where he wrote Doctor Faustus and The Holy Sinner. Among the honours he received in the U.S.A. was his appointment as a Fellow of the Library of Congress. He revisited his native country in 1949 and returned to Switzerland in 1952, where The Black Swan and Confessions of Felix Krull were written, and where he died in 1955.
