Paul Thomas Mann, semplicemente noto come Thomas Mann (Lubecca, 6 giugno 1875 – Zurigo, 12 agosto 1955), è stato uno scrittore e saggista tedesco. Dopo la morte del padre si trasferisce prima a Monaco di Baviera con la famiglia, poi soggiorna con il fratello a Roma e Palestrina. Tornato a Monaco, lavora nella redazione del Simplicissimus, ma presto si dedica esclusivamente alla letteratura. Il primo dopoguerra segna la sua definitiva affermazione, fino a diventare il massimo rappresentante della letteratura tedesca. Nel 1929 vince il Premio Nobel per la letteratura e pochi anni dopo decide di lasciare la Germania per trasferirsi prima nei Paesi Bassi e in seguito negli Stati Uniti dove rimane fino al 1952 per poi spostarsi in Svizzera.
