Eventually managed to read 'The Buddenbrooks' by Thomas Mann, the major reason that Mann won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. Yes, quite lengthy but still worth reading. A glimpse into a different time. #bookrecommendation

Die Schlussfolgerung des Kommentars "Es geht darum, so schnell wie möglich weg von fossilen Energieträgern zu kommen..." ist zu wenig. Es muss schleunigst viel mehr passieren, aber da bietet Susanne Schwarz leider sehr wenig an. Trotzdem Kompliment Frau Schwarz - nicht lockerlassen.
