I read a Chinese version of Goethe and Tolstoy, not this book. Mann's writing on Nietzsche or Wagner stuck on my mind for a long time. Full of wisdom and it's the crystallization of his long-term thinking. Schiller's naive-sentimental dichotomy mold is used as the main line to discuss. Note that according to the Introduction part of this book, sources of those detailed images of Goethe and Tolstoy are already the consequence of Mann's novelized treatment. P. 24.
