Notes:

From Thomas Mann Novella translated by David Luke

Synopsis:

Havergal appears first as a stiff and palid German funeral orator, describing the life and achivements of the dead hero, the elderly writer and critic von Ashenach; then suddenly we are plunged into von Aschenbach's own story, his sudden decision to travel to Venice, his gathering infatuation with a beautiful young Poilsh boy staying at the same hotel on the Lido, and the growing madness and sickness - both moral and physical - that overtake his mind as cholera begins to stalk the city.
Joyce McMillan, Scotsman
