Death in Venice by Thomas Mann

Death in Venice by Thomas Mann

A new translation of Thomas Mann's classic tale of obsession and infatuation amid the haunting decay of Venice.

Thomas Mann (1875-1955) was perhaps Germany's most famous twentieth-century writer. Born to a merchant family in Lübeck, Mann was preparing to enter the family business when his father suddenly died and the business was liquidated. The Manns moved to Munich, where Mann began his literary career with the epic novel Buddenbrooks (1901), which was a huge success. Further novels and stories followed, including Death in Venice (1912) and The Magic Mountain (1924); five years following publication of the latter novel, Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. When Hitler came to power, Mann fled to Switzerland, and from there he escaped to California at the outbreak of the Second World War. He is buried in Switzerland, where he spent his final years. Lesley Chamberlain is a British writer and critic who has written extensively on German and Russian literature and published three novels.
