Book Reviews of the Death in Venice
Customer Review: Beautiful prose
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a wonderful novella, written as a self-reflective piece about Mann's own life and how he imagined dying a beautiful death. The descriptions of Venice are beautiful, as are the classical references. The death scene is quite nice, turning from one perspective to another, gently.
