Master and His Dog

Thomas Mann's narrative, which was published in 1919 and contains autobiographical elements, is based on Bauschan, a hunting dog dog who lived with the Mann family, and his owner. In this narrative, where the author once again makes one feel that he is not only a great novelist, but also a master of smaller text types, he draws an idyllic portrait for the reader with his extraordinarily lively, meticulous and detailed, sometimes humorous descriptions. The reader goes on daily walks along the riverside and green areas of the city in Munich with Bauschan and his owner, and has the opportunity to take a closer look at Bauschan's physical and characteristic features; bears witness to the relationship between the dog and its owner: Bauschan's story tells how the dog is still a stranger to the human being, even though it is so much in his living space.

The Master and His Dog, in which we can trace the allegory and parody elements inherent in modern literature, It can also be read as a depiction of the life experience of the individual caught between the city and the countryside, seeking shelter in the idyll condemned to extinction by history, and the life experience of the European bourgeoisie that was transformed by the First World War.
