«La muerte en Venecia» is the novella by Thomas Mann, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish), along with «Las tablas de la ley».
The writer Gustav Aschenbach, exhausted by work, travels to Venice in search of recovery and becomes fascinated by the beauty of a young Pole named Tadzio; that silent attraction awakens a passion that erodes his balance and his idea of art. The volume is completed with «Las tablas de la ley», a story of Moses, the exodus and the commandments.
Thomas Mann won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. This edition presents the translation by Martín Rivas and Raúl Schiaffino.
For readers of classic fiction who want a Spanish edition of Thomas Mann with two of his works in a single volume.

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.
