DESCRIPTION - Thomas Mann's haunting novella DEATH IN VENICE tells the tragic and ironic story of a man who falls into foolish love, only to reap his own ruin. Gustav von Aschenbach, a serious, dignified, lonely, and elderly writer, is enjoying a Venetian holiday when he notices the taut, lean figure of a Polish boy. The boy's name is Tadzio, and he comes to represent the sleek perfection of youth. Aschenbach finds himself completely, hopelessly obsessed with this ideal. Rich in mythical imagery, and exploring the themes of beauty and decay, passion and pestilence, DEATH IN VENICE is a disturbing, memorable work. This new translation of Nobel laureate Thomas Mann's work bu Jefferson S. Chase includes several additional short stories: 'Tristan', 'Tonio Kruger', 'Man and Dog: An Idyll', 'Hour of Hardship','Tobias Mindernickel', and 'The Child Prodigy'. inventory #33042.
