Tristano capolavoro
Tonio Kroger molto bello
Morte a Venezia assolutamente sopravvalutato e blando

“La morte a Venezia” è sempre stato per me il titolo di un giallo, e quando ho cominciato il libro non avevo idea di cosa aspettarmi in questo volume. Cos’ho trovato? Amori di scrittori. Il passaggio piú bello, per me, nel racconto “Tristano”: quando la giovane suona al pianoforte un notturno di Chopin. Ho ascoltato la melodia mentre leggevo e mi sono sentita come se avessi la protagonista davvero davanti agli occhi.

Overall, I felt the stories were too full of dated philosophical remarks and they could've done with more plot substance. This was my first time reading Mann and I cannot say I have enjoyed this introduction.

Molto bello ed evocativo lo stile di scrittura anche se dopo in po' diventa noioso. La trama insulsa
