Death in Venice and Other Stories

---

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 'youthfully ardenst thirst for distant scene', and meets a young boy whose beauty he becomes obesessed by. 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. Death in Venice is an acknowledged masterpiece of European short fiction and posibbly the most artistically perfect of all Mann's works.
