Description
“The Nasty Teacher” is a satirical novel by Heinrich Mann, with the atmosphere of a German provincial town on the eve of historical change.
The main character, the teacher Nuss, nicknamed “Nasty,” is a petty bourgeois who has strived for career success since early youth, obeying power and authority without question. From childhood he demonstrates conformism, cowardice, and the desire to submit to the powerful. At the same time, Nuss preaches a double morality—for slaves and for masters—counting himself among the latter and intending to live by laws different from the moral laws of vulgar philistines.
“The Nasty Teacher” is not only a psychological portrait of a pliable and cruel man, but also a subtle political allegory that exposes the causes behind the emergence of totalitarianism.
