Death in Venice
(Der Tod in Venedig)
a novella written by the German author Thomas Mann published in 1912.
The work presents a great writer who visits Venice and is liberated, uplifted,
and then increasingly obsessed, by the sight of a stunningly beautiful youth. Tadzio,
the boy in the story, is the nickname for the Polish name Tadeusz and based on a boy
Mann had seen during his visit to Venice in 1911.
A film of Death in Venice starring Dirk Bogarde was made by Luchino Visconti in 1971,
is considered a classic cinema
