This beautiful new book from eminent literary critic Stanley Corngold tells the little-known story of Thomas Mann's early years in America and his encounters with a group of highly gifted émigrés in Princeton, which came to be called the Kahler Circle, with Mann at its center. The Circle included mostly German-speaking exiles from Nazism, foremost Mann, Erich Kahler, Hermann Broch, and Albert Einstein. Weimar in Princeton portrays a fascinating scene of cultural production and the experiences of an extraordinary group who gathered together to mourn a lost culture and to reckon with the new world in which they had arrived.
