A "brilliant . . . perfectly nuanced translation" (The Boston Globe) of Thomas Mann's greatest short works A Penguin Classic Featuring his world-famous masterpiece, "Death in Venice," this collection of Nobel laureate Thomas Mann's stories and novellas reveals his artistic evolution.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Thomas Mann wrote his last great novel, Doctor Faustus, during his exile from Nazi Germany. Although he already had a long string of masterpieces to his name, in retrospect this seems to be the novel he was born to write. A modern reworking of the Faust legend in which a twentieth-century composer sells his soul to the devil for the artistic power he craves, the story brilliantly interweaves music, philosophy, theology, and politics. Adrian Leverk hn is a talented young composer who is willing to go to any lengths to reach greater heights of achievement. What he gets is twenty-four years of genius--years of increasingly extraordinary musical innovation intertwined with progressive and destructive madness. A scathing allegory of Germany's renunciation of its own humanity and its embrace of ambition and nihilism, Doctor Faustus is also a profound meditation on artistic genius. Obsessively exploring the evil into which his country had fallen, Mann succeeds as only he could have in charting the dimensions of that evil; his novel has both the pertinence of history and the universality of myth. Translated from the German by H. T. Lowe-Porter.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The world-famous masterpiece by Nobel laureate Thomas Mann--here in a new translation by Michael Henry Heim with a new introduction by Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours  "It is a story of the voluptuousness of doom," Mann wrote. "But the problem I had especially in mind was that of the artist's dignity." Published on the eve of World War I, a decade after Buddenbrooks had established Thomas Mann as a literary celebrity, Death in Venice tells the story of Gustave von Aschenbach, a successful but aging writer who follows his wanderlust to Venice in search of spiritual fulfillment that instead leads to his erotic doom. Amid this growing fixation, Venice is struck by an epidemic, and the once-idyllic city devolves into a decaying, ominous backdrop that mirrors Aschenbach's inner turmoil. Overwhelmed by his unfulfilled desires and the tension between art, morality, and human passion, he chooses to remain in the city, unable to part from Tadzio's presence. The novella climaxes as Aschenbach, now physically and emotionally enfeebled, watches Tadzio from a distance on the beach one final time. As the boy gazes out at the sea, symbolizing purity and eternal beauty, Aschenbach succumbs to his own deterioration and dies alone. Through its rich symbolism and classical references, Death in Venice serves as a meditation on the transcendence of beauty, the frailty of human existence, and the paradox of longing for the unattainable.…

Zustand: Very Good. Gustav von Aschenbach, a successful ageing writer, travels to Venice for a holiday. One day, at dinner in his hotel, Aschenbach notices an exceptionally beautiful young boy. Soon his days begin to revolve around seeing this boy and he is too distracted to pay attention to the ominous rumours that have begun to circulate about disease spreading through the city. Italian director Luchino Visconti also wrote the screenplay for his 1971 adaptation of Mann's novella and travelled all over the world in search of a suitable actor for the role of Tadzio. Dirk Bogarde considered retiring after playing the part of Aschenbach, believing he could never hope to give a better performance in a better film.…
