Acerca de este libro electrónico

Thomas Mann nannte seine Novelle die Tragödie einer Entwürdigung: Gustav von Aschenbach, ein berühmter Schriftsteller von etwas über 50 Jahren und schon länger verwitwet, hat sein Leben ganz auf Leistung gestellt. Eine sommerliche Erholungsreise führt ihn nach Venedig. Dort beobachtet er am Strand täglich einen schönen Knaben, der mit seiner eleganten Mutter und seinen Schwestern samt Gouvernante im selben Hotel, dem Bäderhotel, wohnt. In ihn verliebt sich der Alternde. Er bewahrt zwar stets eine scheue Distanz zu dem Knaben, der späte Gefühlsrausch jedoch, dem sich der sonst so selbstgestrenge von Aschenbach nun willenlos hingibt, macht aus ihm letztlich einen würdelosen Greis.

Acerca del autor

Thomas Mann, born on June 6, 1875, in Lübeck, Germany, is a towering figure in 20th-century literature, renowned for his profound explorations of the human psyche and the socio-political landscapes of his time. Mann's early life was steeped in the cultural richness of a bourgeois family, which profoundly influenced his literary voice. His works often delve into themes of decadence, the conflict between spirit and flesh, and the complexities of modernity.Mann's magnum opus, "The Magic Mountain," is a seminal work that captures the existential crises of pre-World War I Europe. His acute observations and philosophical depth earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. Mann's political engagement became more pronounced with the rise of Nazism, against which he stood as a vocal critic. His exile to the United States in 1933 marked a significant period where he continued to write and speak against totalitarianism, influencing contemporary writers and intellectuals.Controversially, Mann's personal life was marked by his complex sexuality, which he candidly explored in his diaries, revealing a struggle that resonates with today's discussions on LGBTQ+ identities. His revolutionary ideas on art, politics, and human nature continue to inspire and challenge readers and writers alike. Mann's legacy is not just in his literary masterpieces but in his unwavering commitment to intellectual freedom and moral integrity, making him a timeless figure in world literature.
