Description
This atmospheric story of obsession and inner conflict unfolds during the oppressive heat of a Venetian summer. Driven by an urge to travel, the revered German writer Gustav von Aschenbach stays at a hotel on Venice's Lido, where he becomes intoxicated by the beauty of a young Polish boy holidaying with his family. As Aschenbach's struggle between discipline and passion intensifies, Venice itself falls under the grip of disease. Despite the danger and decay around him, Aschenbach is unable to leave. This edition is part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of cloth-bound classics with gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers. It is translated by Shaun Whiteside and includes an introduction by Oxford academic Karolina Watroba.
