"Disorder and Early Sorrow (German: Unordnung und fr\u00FChes Leid) is a 1925 novella written by Thomas Mann. It follows the fortunes of the Cornelius family through the perspective of Abel Cornelius (written in a third person narrative voice), a 47-year-old professor at the local university, whose status in society was once highly respected but has diminished markedly. The Cornelius family is, in part, a reflection of Mann's own family."@en . "Unordnung und fr\u00FChes Leid"@en . "Disorder and Early Sorrow"@en . . . . . .
