Content: Thomas Mann's novel is divided into five chapters. Each chapter is clearly separated from the next. The main character is the writer Gustav von Aschenbach. This takes a stroll through Munich to recover from his work. When I was in the cemetery of Munich tram expected to go to a man \ "exotic \" aspect that produces in him a strong desire to travel. When she turns around again after the alien has suddenly disappeared.

Two weeks later, Aschenbach first trip to Trieste, then to Pola, where I can stand, but not much, and he decides to sail to Venice. Among the passengers was a man Aschenbach surprisingly poorly dressed young people. Bad because he is actually an old man who has served but to cosmetic surgery to look younger. As Aschenbach wants to go to a coffin-like gondola station ship, is of value in the gondolier to your hotel. The gondola reminds Aschenbach \ "to the death and last journey in silence \". He noted that the gondolier the strange man in front of the cemetery seems.

Exactly how this is going to disappear and the gondolier, without being paid Achenbach. Then Aschenbach relates his room and then wait in the lobby for dinner. While waiting, he found the middle of a Polish family, a boy, he \ 'perfectly beautiful \ "and refers to it \", Greek sculptures of the most precious times \ "he said. It is visually almost children \' love \ ", named Tadzio. The next day, the weather, like the check-in, is still bad and a bad smell in the air. For these reasons, Aschenbach considered whether it should go.

But when you see your child again, but he decides to stay. An afternoon stroll through Venice, which carries the smell real bad again and now decides to leave the lagoon city forever. He gives instructions to carry your luggage to the station, but he got there, he learns that his luggage was mistakenly sent ahead in the wrong city. Aschenbach returns to the hotel and confesses that she is happy to be back near Tadzio. One night, when the Polish family with Tadzio appears later reveals his Aschenbach for his uncontrollable facial expression that looks to the boy. A child with only one that seems to look back half embarrassed half smiles curiously.

As Aschenbach has been almost a month in Venice, he noticed a strange smell in the air. Everything indicates that cholera is endemic in Venice, but this is suppressed for economic reasons to visitors. Although usually always emphasizes a high level, which began busking in the primitive pleasure to find. One of the singer also reminds abroad again in front of the cemetery and the gondolier, who remember him for his outward appearance, the three to death. The next day, Aschenbach finds out that cholera has broken out in the facts. Fearing that he would soon leave Tadzio, he followed at all times.

After a while, disgusted Aschenbach himself before his own appearance, age and feels increasingly uncomfortable. Finally, it is infected with cholera. When it than ever and getting worse, with downtime on the beach in Venice. Opinion and interpretation: I liked the book well and remains, in my opinion brilliant. It has the ability to describe the nature and precision that can be displayed. The disadvantage of this is likely to continue, the long sentences that are not exactly easy to understand.

In this book, as in all other books of Thomas Mann, his life reflects something in it, for example, the homosexual relationship between an older man and a child. Probably the man himself was homosexual, but as this was a taboo subject in society, had to hide his feelings. He wrote in his books. Thomas Mann wrote the book \ "Death in Venice", having returned from his voyage from Venice itself .. The man gathered the names of its main character: the name of the composer, painter Gustav, while T.

Mann trip had died, and the name he took from the painter Andreas Achenbach. This man has changed little, Achenbach  Aschenbach, so that a cause of death was due to "ashes. "
