Read by Rudolf Guckelsberger in the series Jahreszeitenlesung
Thomas Mann's last completed novel from 1951 is based on an epic poem by the medieval poet Hartmann von Aue: "Gregorius, the Good Sinner". In Mann's novel, however, the man who has fallen deeply into ruin becomes "The Chosen One", an extremely wise pope! Rudolf Guckelsberger reads the most important, wittiest and most thought-provoking passages of this pious legend dressed up in a modern guise.
