Death in Venice And Other Stories wer. angielska

Opis

With astonishment Aschenbach noticed that the boy was entirely beautiful.

Ageing writer Gustav von Aschenbach is on holiday in Venice when he first notices a fellow guest in the foyer of his hotel: an exceptionally beautiful boy who is staying there with his family. Admiration gives way to obsession as his days begin to revolve around seeing the boy. Meanwhile, ominous signs point to a disease spreading through the magnificent, but decaying, city and, blinded by his fixation, Aschenbach fails to notice.

Death in Venice is the finale of this seven-story collection, marked by masterful storytelling and profound, often haunting, insight.
