DEATH IN VENICE AND OTHER STORIES- BANTAM

This superb new translation of Death in Venice and six other stories by Thomas Mann is a tour de force, sure to establish itself as the definitive text for English-speaking readers. The seven stories in this collection represent the early part of Mann's literary carrer, beginning with work he produced in 1896 at the age of 21, and culminating in his celebrated novella, Death in Venice. Although Mann continued working until the end of his life in 1955, he himself despaired of ever matching the quality of his early writing.
