Death in Venice by Thomas Mann

featuring Lloyd Kramer, Professor of History and Director, Carolina Public Humanities

Gustav von Aschenbach, a successful but lonely author, travels to the Queen of the Adriatic in search of an elusive spiritual fulfillment that turns into his erotic doom. In this new, widely acclaimed translation that restores the controversial passages that were cut out of the original English version, Death in Venice tells about a ruinous quest for love and beauty amid degenerating splendor.

“Death in Venice…continues to be a touchstone book of how we view the Old World — along with the elderly — and how you, the reader, see Venice.”
