Written immediately after his return from his first trip to America in June 1934, A Voyage at Sea with Don Quixote follows the author’s observations about life aboard a Dutch vessel bound for New York, interspersed with remarks on his reading of Cervantes’s immortal novel. Using Don Quixote as a springboard, Mann reflects on a number of urgent topics: art, literature, religion, the artist’s freedom of conscience and the misuse of technology.
The result is an engaging dialogue between past and present, an offbeat, witty travelogue of a voyage undertaken during the Great Depression, a creative tour de force that will delight and amuse in equal measure all those wishing to experience a lesser-known facet of the great German novelist’s oeuvre.
