Death in Venice and Seven Other Stories

Thomas Mann (1875–1955) was from Germany. At the age of 25, he published his first novel, Buddenbrooks. In 1924, The Magic Mountain was published, and five years later, Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Following the rise of the Nazis to power, he left Germany for good in 1933 to live in Switzerland and then in California, where he wrote Doctor Faustus (first published in the United States in 1948).

In addition to Death in Venice, this volume includes "Mario and the Magician," "Disorder and Early Sorrow," "A Man and His Dog," "Felix Krull," "The Blood of the Walsungs," "Tristan," and "Tonio Kröger."

These stories, as direct as Thomas Mann's novels are complex, are perfect illustrations of their author's belief that "a story must tell itself." Varying in theme, in style, in tone, each is in its own way characteristic of Mann's prodigious talents. From the high art of the famous title novella ("A story," Mann said, "of death...of the voluptuousness of doom"), to the irony of "Felix Krull," the early story on which he later based his comic novel The Confessions of Felix Krull, they are stunning testimony to the mastery and virtuosity of a literary giant.

读后感

威尼斯是古代没落的商业中心，现代繁华的旅游胜地。但是在我眼中，他始终带着隐隐的死亡的气息。 十一月的威尼斯，刚受过海水漫城的洗礼，游客减少，气温降低，一切都开始趋于萧条。我想起了电影《威尼斯疑魂》，这部1973年的电影在2012年的票选活动中超越奥逊•威尔斯的《...  

我不敢也没有能力去评价《死于威尼斯》，因为我不能亵渎了这样一部伟大的作品，任何文字都无法表达我读后的惶惑和痛苦。除了维斯孔蒂，世界上没有第二个人能够有资格和天才去诠释这另一位天才，也只有他的灵魂才可以感知他的灵魂，那是宇宙中不可言传的神秘力量，吸引着两个伟...  

这本书我以前读过上译的，速速翻完，毫无感觉，翻出记录来，打的居然是三颗星？！额的神，真为自己的无知浅薄而汗颜。 这次读的是Michael Henry Heim的译本，前头有Michael Cunningham的推荐，封面上的一句话是" A haunting new translation"。果然没读两页就有haunting的感觉...  

当你觉得读这本书，觉得就像在饮一杯白开水的时候，请别急。托马斯曼会给你杯中加上一块糖，忽然之间，就让索然无味变成一股清甜，一个措手不及的意外。 《威尼斯之死》，如果你不忘记托马斯曼是诺贝尔文学奖得主，如果你不忘记他曾写过《魔山》、《布登勃洛克家族》，如果你...

托马斯·曼是个同性恋，虽然他对此采取低调的态度，但至少他的日记里写得很清楚。不过为了体面和对家族的责任感（也许还有1895年王尔德案件的影响？虽然我没看到资料明确这么说明，但王尔德案件对当时风靡整个欧洲的同性恋风气有很大的打击），托马斯·曼还是选择了和一位富商...
