Luiz Heinrich Mann (1871-1950) was a German writer from the Mann family. He was the older brother of Thomas Mann. From 1930, Heinrich Mann was president of the Poetry Section of the Prussian Academy of Arts, from which he was expelled in 1933 after the Nazi seizure of power. Mann, who had mostly lived in Munich until then, first emigrated to France, then to the USA. In exile, he wrote numerous works, including many anti-fascist texts. His narrative art was shaped by the 19th-century French novel. His works often had socially critical intentions. His early works are often biting satires on bourgeois hypocrisy. In his subsequent works, Mann analyzed the authoritarian structures of the German Empire during the Wilhelminian era. The results included, among others, the social satire *Professor Unrat*, but also three novels now known as the Imperial Trilogy. In exile, he wrote the novels *Die Jugend des Königs Henri Quatre* and *Die Vollendung des Königs Henri Quatre*. His narrative work was complemented by extensive activity as an essayist and publicist. He leaned towards democracy very early on, opposed World War I from the outset, and early on opposed National Socialism, whose followers publicly burned Mann's works.
