One of the most famous literary works of the 20th century, the novella “Death in Venice” embodies themes that preoccupied Thomas Mann (1875–1955) in much of his work; the duality of art and life, the presence of death and disintegration in the midst of existence, the connection between love and suffering, and the conflict between the artist and his inner self. Mann’s handling of these concerns in this story of a middle-aged German writer, torn by his passion for a Polish youth met on holiday in Venice, resulted in a work of great psychological intensity and tragic power.

Death in Venice by Thomas Mann: Death in Venice is a haunting novella by Thomas Mann that explores the themes of beauty, desire, and the pursuit of perfection. Set in the early 20th century, the story follows Gustav von Aschenbach, a renowned writer, as he becomes captivated by the allure of a young boy he encounters in the city of Venice, ultimately leading to his spiritual and physical decline. Key Points: Mann's novella delves into the complexities of desire and the destructive power of obsession, as Aschenbach's infatuation with the boy becomes an all-consuming force that disrupts his moral compass and challenges his notions of art and beauty. Death in Venice examines themes of decay, mortality, and the juxtaposition of artistic ideals with the realities of human existence, offering a profound exploration of the tension between the pursuit of aesthetic perfection and the inevitable imperfections of life. The novella showcases Mann's masterful prose and psychological insight, delving into the inner turmoil and psychological disintegration of the protagonist, while also providing a poignant commentary on the limitations and consequences of unbridled desire.

Download Stone's Fall Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
At his London home, John Stone falls out of a window to his death. A financier and arms dealer, Stone was a man so wealthy that he was able to manipulate markets, industries, and indeed entire countries and continents. Did he jump, was he pushed, or was it merely a tragic accident? His alluring and enigmatic widow hires a young crime reporter to investigate. The story moves backward in time—from London in 1909 to Paris in 1890 and finally to Venice in 1867—and the attempts to uncover the truth play out against the backdrop of the evolution of high-stakes international finance, Europe’s first great age of espionage, and the start of the twentieth century’s arms race. Stone’s Fall is a tale of love and frailty, as much as it is of high finance and skulduggery. The mixture, then, as now, is an often fatal combination.

Published in 1913, Thomas Mann's Death in Venice is one of the most widely read novellas in any language. In the 1970s, Benjamin Britten adapted it into an opera, and Luchino Visconti turned it into a successful film. Reading these works from a philosophical perspective, Philip Kitcher connects the predicament of the novella's central character to Western thought's most compelling questions. In Mann's story, the author Gustav von Aschenbach becomes captivated by an adolescent boy, first seen on the lido in Venice, the eventual site of Aschenbach's own death. Mann works through central concerns about how to live, explored with equal intensity by his German predecessors, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. Kitcher considers how Mann's, Britten's, and Visconti's treatments illuminate the tension between social and ethical values and an artist's sensitivity to beauty. Each work asks whether a life devoted to self-sacrifice in the pursuit of lasting achievements can be sustained and whether the breakdown of discipline undercuts its worth. Haunted by the prospect of his death, Aschenbach also helps us reflect on whether it is possible to achieve anything in full awareness of our finitude and in knowing our successes are always incomplete.
