Summary:
The story of the decline and fall of a once-prestigious German family. Anxious to preserve their rapidly diminishing wealth, the Buddenbrook clan undergoes several marriages of convenience--which serve only to weaken the strain, until, as the 20th Century dawns, only two members of the family are left.
