A 'brilliant . . . perfectly nuanced translation' (The Boston Globe) of Thomas Mann's greatest short worksA Penguin ClassicFeaturing his worldfamous masterpiece, 'Death in Venice,' this collection of Nobel laureate Thomas Mann's stories and novellas reveals his artistic evolution. In a widely acclaimed translation that restores the controversial passages that were censored from 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 sundrenched sensuality and eerie physical decay as it gradually succumbs to a secret epidemic.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.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the Englishspeaking world.
