Death in Venice: And Seven Other Stories by Thomas Mann

4.0

Three remarkable stories -- "Death In Venice," "Mario and the Magician," and "Felix Krull" -- interspersed among four other, much lesser, works. Each of those three has a novel's depth, warrants careful, repeated reading, and clearly influenced a broad range of 20th Century authors. The others are a tedious chore, though, and require a deeper understanding of German culture than I possess.
