An author with this last name wrote a novel whose hyperpatriotic protagonist argues with the soldier Wolfgang Buck and makes a political alliance with his nemesis Napoleon Fischer. Another author of this surname spent sixteen years "transforming myth into flesh" in the form of a four-part novel about a man who is exiled to Egypt, where he serves as Akhenaten's steward. The author of Man of Straw shares this surname with the creator of the doomed child Echo Nepomuk and a character who uses an (*) "H, E, A, E, E-flat" motif to represent a woman called "Hetaera Esmeralda". That author with this surname wrote Joseph and his Brothers and a novel narrated by Serenus Zeitblom in which the composer of Apocalypsis cum Figuris voluntarily contracts syphilis to increase his artistic output. For 10 points, give the surname shared by Heinrich and his brother, Doktor Faustus author Thomas.
