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.

評分可以和紀德的《背德者》做一個比照:都是寫旅行,而這旅行既帶來瞭新生也帶來瞭毀滅。在旅行中與本真和純美邂逅,過去的生活被否定,兩個人都從某種程度上“墮落”瞭。但《背德者》的結局是妻子纍死瞭,《死於威尼斯》的結局是自己死瞭。很悲劇。或許,真和美是需要代價的。薩...
評分這本書我以前讀過上譯的,速速翻完,毫無感覺,翻齣記錄來,打的居然是三顆星?!額的神,真為自己的無知淺薄而汗顔。 這次讀的是Michael Henry Heim的譯本,前頭有Michael Cunningham的推薦,封麵上的一句話是" A haunting new translation"。果然沒讀兩頁就有haunting的感覺...
評分兩則審美者與美的遭遇故事,探討瞭美與世俗,藝術激情與主流道德,感官混沌與理性秩序間不可調和的衝突。托馬斯曼是個不摺不扣的審美者。對於他心所嚮往的至美,他似乎總是抱著一種矛盾的態度。一方麵,他傾心仰慕,心蕩神馳,目光無時無刻不被美牢牢吸引。另一方麵他心懷敬畏...
