About this listen
Death in Venice is a short story by German writer Thomas Mann, published in 1912. It tells the story of a noble writer who visits Venice and becomes liberated, inspired, and then increasingly obsessed by the sight of a boy from a family of Polish tourists - Tadzio, nicknamed Tadeusha. Tadzio was founded by the first boy named Vladzio, whom Mann observed during his visit to the city in 1911.
In Death in Venice, Thomas Mann captures the essence of a once tranquil life plagued by a battle of morality and desires.

Story5 out of 5 stars 3
In Thomas Mann's novella Death in Venice, a distinguished writer's holiday from the burdens of his work turns out very differently from what he expected. By means of the story, Mann explores the relationships between disciplined intellect and ungoverned passion, and between decaying age and youthful beauty, against a background that resonates today in a time of pandemics. It was first published in German (as Der Tod in Venedig) in 1912.
