Der Tod in Venedig

Thomas Mann's famous novella - now available for the first time as a beautifully designed gift edition in linen. Longing and desire, beauty and death. Where else but in old Venice can one fall in love and be consumed as the writer Gustav Aschenbach does in Thomas Mann's renowned novella? Thomas Mann tells of the onset of passion, of the forbidden love of the writer for the beautiful boy Tadzio. At the same time, he also narrates the outbreak of a pandemic, cholera, from which Aschenbach ultimately dies. From Luchino Visconti's film adaptation to John Neumeier's ballet, the novella has inspired a diverse range of artists - just as it continues to invite us readers to rediscover it time and again.
