«La mort a Venècia» is the novel by Thomas Mann published by Labutxaca in paperback format (128 pages, in Catalan).
In a decadent and ghostly Venice, with its black gondolas and nocturnal water, the German writer Gustav Von Aschenbach arrives tired and uninspired. The beauty of a Polish adolescent awakens in him an obsessive attraction that gradually consumes his will and ultimately drags him into the abyss.
Catalan translation by Joan Fontcuberta Gel. The work was originally published in 1911 as Der Tod in Venedig.
For readers of twentieth-century literary classics, particularly German narrative.
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.
