Book excerpt: A tale of genius in which Thomas Mann explores the artist's relation to life. First published in 1912, Death in Venice tells how Gustave von Aschenbach, a writer utterly absorbed in his work, arrives in Venice as the result of a 'youthfully ardent thirst for distant scenes', and meets a young boy by whose beauty he becomes obsessed. His pitiful pursuit of the object of his affection and its inevitable and pathetic climax are told here with the particular skill the author has for this shorter form of fiction.

Book excerpt: One of the most famous literary works of the 20th century, the novella “Death in Venice” embodies themes that preoccupied Thomas Mann (1875–1955) in much of his work; the duality of art and life, the presence of death and disintegration in the midst of existence, the connection between love and suffering, and the conflict between the artist and his inner self. Mann’s handling of these concerns in this story of a middle-aged German writer, torn by his passion for a Polish youth met on holiday in Venice, resulted in a work of great psychological intensity and tragic power.

Book excerpt: Death in Venice by Thomas Mann: Death in Venice is a haunting novella by Thomas Mann that explores the themes of beauty, desire, and the pursuit of perfection. Set in the early 20th century, the story follows Gustav von Aschenbach, a renowned writer, as he becomes captivated by the allure of a young boy he encounters in the city of Venice, ultimately leading to his spiritual and physical decline. Key Points: Mann's novella delves into the complexities of desire and the destructive power of obsession, as Aschenbach's infatuation with the boy becomes an all-consuming force that disrupts his moral compass and challenges his notions of art and beauty. Death in Venice examines themes of decay, mortality, and the juxtaposition of artistic ideals with the realities of human existence, offering a profound exploration of the tension between the pursuit of aesthetic perfection and the inevitable imperfections of life. The novella showcases Mann's masterful prose and psychological insight, delving into the inner turmoil and psychological disintegration of the protagonist, while also providing a poignant commentary on the limitations and consequences of unbridled desire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book A Best Book of the Year: The Economist, The New Yorker, San Francisco Chronicle, Slate.com, and Time In Venice, at the Biennale, a jaded, bellini-swigging journalist named Jeff Atman meets a beautiful woman and they embark on a passionate affair. In Varanasi, an unnamed journalist (who may or may not be Jeff) joins thousands of pilgrims on the banks of the holy Ganges. He intends to stay for a few days but ends up remaining for months. Their journey—as only the irrepressibly entertaining Geoff Dyer could conjure—makes for an uproarious, fiendishly inventive novel of Italy and India, longing and lust, and the prospect of neurotic enlightenment.

Book excerpt: The Nobel Prize–winning author’s masterful novella of eros and obsession, presented alongside other short works of lyrical beauty and psychological depth. In Thomas Mann’s immortal novella A Death in Venice, renowned author Gustave Aschenbach faces both middle age and a severe case of writer’s block. He resolves to go on holiday in search of inspiration, only to find himself awestruck by the classical beauty of a fourteen-year-old boy. Submitting to his obsession with the youth, Gustave slowly loses himself, his dignity, and finally his life. This volume includes six short works by Mann, including “Little Herr Friedmann,” “Gladius Dei,” Tristan,” and “Tonio Kroger,” among others.
