"[One of] the greatest writers of [his] time." - William Faulkner

This translation of Nobel Laureate Thomas Mann's work includes his masterpiece, Death in Venice, plus six of the author's short stories: Tristan, Tonio Kroger, Man and Dog: An Idyll, Hour of Hardship, Tobias Mindernickel, and The Child Prodigy.


@GustavaelJackson While walking in the hotel lobby, saw a little kid dressed in a sailor’s uniform. Went from six to midnight. No Viagra needed.

I worry that his parents have noticed me. They might issue an amber alert if the child goes missing. Look out for gondola and child.
