Review:
The real theme is fading creativity and the search for inspiration...A deep and highly complex drama of the psyche ( Financial Times )
This complex fin-de-siecle masterpiece...seems eerily to pre-echo the destructive decadence that would shortly shatter European civilisation itself ( The Times )
Thomas Mann's story of obsession and spiritual malaise ( Observer )
What Mann understands and laughs at, though it grips him, is the quasi-sexual attraction of beauty and philosophy...Death in Venice is one of the undisputed classics of contemporary European literature ( Independent )
Mann's obsessive story explores the complex, haunted relationship between an ageing writer and a beautiful Polish boy ( Express )
