Featuring his world-famous masterpiece, "Death in Venice," this new
collection of Nobel laureate Thomas Mann's stories and novellas
reveals his artistic evolution. In this new, widely acclaimed
translation that restores the controversial passages that were cut
out of the original English version, "Death in Venice" tells about
a ruinous quest for love and beauty amid degenerating splendor.
Gustav von Aschenbach, a successful but lonely author, travels to
the Queen of the Adriatic in search of an elusive spiritual
fulfillment that turns into his erotic doom. Spellbound by a
beautiful Polish boy, he finds himself fettered to this hypnotic
city of sun-drenched sensuality and eerie physical decay.
Also included in this volume are eleven other stories by Mann:
"Tonio Kroger," "Gladius Dei," "The Blood of the Walsungs," "The
Will for Happiness," "Little Herr Friedmann," "Tobias
Mindernickel," "Little Lizzy," "Tristan," "The Starvelings," "The
Wunderkind," and "Harsh Hour." All of the stories collected here
display Mann's inimitable use of irony, his subtle
characterizations, and superb, complex plots.
