«La mort a Venècia» is the classic novel by Thomas Mann, published by Navona in paperback (144 pages, in Catalan).
Set in Venice, the novel interweaves a story of love with one of death, two themes that literature has often united. Through the protagonist's gaze, Mann reflects on decadence, the conflict between art and life, and the attraction to beauty, in a melancholic and introspective atmosphere.
Translation by Joan Fontcuberta, prologue by Jordi Llovet. Catalan edition within the Navona Port Bo collection. Work originally published in 1912.
For readers of classic fiction and introspective narrative, with an interest in early 20th-century European literature.
Paul Thomas Mann was a German novelist, short story writer, social critic, philanthropist, essayist, and the 1929 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate. His highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas are noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modern versions of German and Biblical stories, as well as the ideas of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Arthur Schopenhauer.
