«Der Tod in Venedig» is the novella by Thomas Mann, published by Fischer Bücherei in paperback (241 pages, in German).
The writer Gustav von Aschenbach, exhausted by an ordered existence, travels to Venice and is fascinated by the beauty of the young Pole Tadzio. His admiration turns into an obsession as cholera spreads through the city, confronting him with decadence, desire, art and his own mortality.
The work was originally published in 1912; this edition dates from 1975 and belongs to the Fischer Taschenbuch series (volume 54).
For readers of classic German fiction and early 20th-century European literature.
Paul Thomas Mann was a German novelist, short story writer, social critic, philanthropist, essayist, and the 1929 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate. His highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas are noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modern versions of German and Biblical stories, as well as the ideas of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Arthur Schopenhauer.
