In Bashan and I (sometime referred to as Man and Dog), Thomas Mann, the Nobel Prize-winning author of The Magic Mountain and Death in Venice, writes in the most remarkable way of the unique relation that links a dog with his master. These memoirs read as a novel, and describe in fierce detail the behavior, feelings and psychology of Mann's dog Bashan, and of Mann himself. Mann tells how he acquired Bashan, details traits of his character, and describes how they go on harmless and bucolic hunts. Written in 1918 at the end of the First World War, Bashan and I is an ode to life, to nature, to simple joys, and to a dog.

Thomas¿Mann naît en 1875 à Lübeck, dans une famille bourgeoise cultivée : son père est sénateur et commerçant, et sa mère, d'origine brésilienne, émigre jeune en Allemagne. À la disparition prématurée de son père alors qu'il est adolescent, il rejoint sa mère à Munich, où il mène des études marquées par sa réticence à l'enseignement formel. Il débute comme journaliste, avant de se consacrer à la littérature, oeuvrant à l'émergence d'un style réfléchi et délicatement ironique. En 1912 paraît Der Tod in Venedig, nouvelle qui se distingue par la rigueur stylistique et le symbolisme dense, plaçant Mann au coeur des réflexions esthétiques de l'époque. Sa carrière, marquée par le succès critique, le conduit à obtenir le Prix Nobel de littérature en 1929. Il explore dans ses romans les tensions entre tradition et modernité, conscience et volonté, en composant des portraits psychologiques approfondis. Exilé volontaire dès 1933 face à l'idéologie totalitaire montante en Allemagne, il s'établit aux États-Unis, puis en Suisse, où il meurt en 1955. Son oeuvre, à la fois classique et moderne, demeure une référence majeure pour l'étude des conflits intérieurs et de la condition humaine moderne, marquant durablement la littérature du XX¿ siècle.
