Review title: I see Venice from the description.....
Product review: There is an operatic romance feel to the title "Death in Venice" written by Thomas Mann in 1912. Since I been to Venice, I really appreciate the descriptive details in the early 19th century; I too was on "the familiar ride across the lagoon, past San Marco, up the Grand Canal". They are just as beautifully described in the story as I remember seeing them with my own eyes. The stream consciousness of the main character, Gustav Aschenbach's trip to Venice, is truly a laborious art piece. I could only absorb a couple of pages per reading session. Luckily, this translated version by Stanley Appelbaum published by Dover publication is only 62 pages.I would recommend this book to readers who are familiar with Greek mythology and Homer since there are many of these references in the story. I am not sure I truly got the symbolism and its relevance to the story.Check out my other book review[...]
