A German writer went to Venice for vacation. He fell in love with a boy and stayed in Venice due to some chance. At this time, a cholera epidemic began in Venice, and the government suppressed the news. The writer was obsessed with the boy, and the long pursuit made him exhausted. At the same time, he ate strawberries that were too ripe and almost rotten, contracted cholera, and died there.
Reader comments
One is a lost person addicted to his own unacceptable love, a persistent hider who indulges in the only indulgence in his life who forgets his home and the work he has worked hard for all his life in Venice.
One is a cowardly and miserable onlooker.
Is this the author writing a story about himself?
I only read the story "Death in Venice".
Maybe because I often watched clips from the movie Tadzio, every time I saw a clip describing the tower, I would automatically substitute the actor's face, which felt a little less fun to imagine.
After reading the whole story, I was still surprised that the author didn't say a word to Ta. The plot that he felt that Ta also noticed and cared about him made me doubt that it was the author's own imagination.
Occasionally I think of "Letter from a Strange Woman", but personally I prefer "Letter from a Strange Woman".
This book made me feel the complexity of human nature and the fragility of life. Aschenbach's experience in Venice reminded me of all the difficulties and confusions I faced in life. We can all be driven by desire and ignore the beauty around us. This book reminds me to cherish the present moment and not to be easily fooled by the temptations of the outside world. At the same time, it also made me understand more about the value of life and that we should live well without leaving any regrets.
Being able to exercise self-restraint in the face of fate and remain graceful in pain is not just a matter of submission.
It's actually quite bland but the story is beautiful

It's too pretty. I can't. It's too pretty.
