Gustav von Aschenbach, a serious, dignified, lonely, and elderly writer, is enjoying a Venetian holiday when he notices the taut, lean figure of a Polish boy. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Thomas Mann's haunting novella DEATH IN VENICE tells the tragic and ironic story of a man who falls into foolish love, only to reap his own ruin.
