Death in Venice

20. In the writing life of Thomas Mann, the greatest German novelist of the century, Death in Venice has a unique place, as well as great novels such as Buddenbrooks, The Magic Mountain and Doctor Faustus. Mann, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929, deals with the 'tragic dilemma of the artist' in this long story called Death in Venice, published just before World War I: The famous writer who went to Venice to get rid of his tensions after a tiring work. The writer Aschenbach is fascinated by the extraordinary beauty of the young Polish Tadzio. When the epidemic spreads through the city, he succumbs to his passions and surrenders to his wish for death. Symbols of love and death constitute the basic elements of the deep sensitivity of this work, which closes a period in Mann's writing life. Beauty, perhaps art, assumes a life-destroying function. We present this immortal novel, which Luchino Visconti adapted to the cinema, with Behçet Necatigil's immortal translation.
