Death in Venice, Tonio Kroger, and Other Writings Thomas Mann [Paperback]

Thomas Mann (1875-1955) won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1929. This is a collection of his shorter works. Death in Venice , later filmed by Lucion Visconti starring Dirk Bogarde, was published in 1911. It is a poetic meditation on art and beauty, where the dying composer Aschenbach (modelled on Gustav Mahler) becomes fixated by the young boy Tadzio. The other stories are: Tonio Kroger ; the collection entitled Tristan ; The Blood of the Walsungs ; Mario the Magician ; and The Tables of the Law . A number of essays are also included.
