Step into the stifling heat of a decaying Venice. Renowned author Gustav von Aschenbach, seeking solace and inspiration, finds himself adrift. But the beauty he craves takes a dark turn when he becomes fixated on a young boy, Tadzio. Obsession consumes Aschenbach, blurring the lines of desire and destruction. As a mysterious illness sweeps the city, can Aschenbach escape the grasp of his forbidden passion? Immerse yourself in Thomas Mann's "Death in Venice," a haunting tale of beauty, obsession, and the perilous dance between life and art.

Tietoja kirjoittajasta

Thomas Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. Born in Pittsburgh, Burke was educated at Ohio State and Columbia universities. During his early career, he became involved with a number of little magazines, including Broom and Secession. He also wrote for The Dial and The Nation as a music critic. His greatest fame, however, has been as a literary critic. Omnivorously eclectic, Burke has found in the analysis of human symbolic activities a key to the largest cultural issues. For Burke, literature is the most prominent and sophisticated form of "symbolic action," one that provides "equipment for living" by allowing us to try out hypothetical strategies for dealing with the endless variety of human situations and experiences. Human society demands some principle of order, but the language and reason that create order can fall into rigid abstractions that can be destructive and violently imposed. Literature shows us an image of sacrifice, forgiveness, and flexibility that plays an important role in keeping society functioning flexibly. Burke's writing is extensive, complex and wide ranging, but also unique and uniquely important among current critical approaches. Called "in a class by himself" by Oprah Daily, and "a master in his field" by The New York Times, Edoardo Ballerini is an award-winning and celebrated narrator of audiobooks.
