I am at page 500 now and only lately I remembered having read this book a long time ago. I do feel myself plodding along now.

All is going to waste in this family; morals and economics. Perhaps comparable to the situation in Germany in the 20ies and 30ies; although the book was written before that time.
Thomas Buddenbrooks speaks rather nasty about the Jewish people in p.466/470 of the Gutenberg version. There had been for centuries a more or less accepted anti-Semitism in East and Central Europe.
