Innhold: Døden i Venezia, Tonio Kröger, Tristan, Mario og tryllekunstneren, Den bedratte.

Et tuberkulosesanatorium i Sveits blir like før første verdenskrig et samlingssted for fysisk og sjelelig syke mennesker. Sanatoriet blir med sine pasienter og deres diskusjoner, et bilde på det syke Europa. Boka ble første gang utgitt i 1924.

Charlotte Kestner ankommer Weimar i september 1816, tilsynelatende for å besøke sin søster. Hun er imidlertid ute etter å oppsøke sin ungdoms flamme, dikteren Goethe. 44 år tidligere gjorde han henne udødelig ved å skrive henne inn som Lotte i romanen Den unge Werthers lidelser. Romanen bygger seg opp mot dette skjebnesvangre møtet.

Romanen skildrer en lybecksk kjøpmannfamilies skjebne gjennom fire generasjoner. Grunnleggeren av familiefirmaet, Johannes Buddenbrook, tjente seg rik på kornleveranser til hæren. Sønnen Johann befestet handelshusets posisjon ytterligere. Men i tredje generasjon dukker problemene opp.

Døden i Venezia ble skrevet i 1912 og er preget av undergangsstemningen som kjennetegnet mye av datidens litteratur. Hovedpersonen, Gustav von Aschenbach, en suksessrik, men aldrende forfatter, får plutselig for seg at han skal reise til Venezia. Han tar inn på et hotell, og her treffer han unggutten Tadzio, som blir en besettelse for ham – alt skildret mot en bakgrunn av død og forfall i pestens Venezia.Thomas Mann (1875–1955) fremtrer som en av de største tyske dikterne i forrige århundre, med verker som Doktor Faustus, Huset Buddenbrook, Trollfjellet og Josef og hans brødre. Men også i novellene sine når han store høyder som kunstner, noe som Døden i Venezia er et godt eksempel på.Novellen er nyoversatt av Per Qvale i 2013, og han har også skrevet etterord i boken.]]>
