Der kleine Herr Friedemann: Novellen

by Thomas Mann

"Der kleine Herr Friedemann: Novellen" by Thomas Mann is a collection published in 1898. The title novella follows Johannes Friedemann, a man with a physical deformity who builds a carefully ordered life based on renunciation and small pleasures. For thirty years, he maintains emotional distance from romantic love. His fragile equilibrium shatters when Gerda von Rinnlingen, the young wife of a wealthy officer, arrives in town and awakens long-suppressed desires that threaten to destroy everything he has constructed.
