Neden Dünyayı Önemsemeliyim - Susan Meredith ücretsiz kitap indir

Lark Lark _n_ark — Finally, a Thomas Mann under my belt and I'm quite pleased with it. One might flippantly condense the plot thusly: Uptight dullard workaholic loner novelist driven to perpetual exhaustion by a severely self-imposed Germanic inner discipline takes a belated vacation in the sunny swarthy south and discovers he's the Humbert Humbert of the boy set. Timid in the face of true passion, Gustave von Aschenbach is quite a case. Harboring a chaste classical ideal of beauty unspoiled by animal passion, he stolidly embraces an Eros without the erotic. But when he spies a 14-year-old boy of white marble purity in Venice, his understanding of Beauty undergoes profound change, and he wrestles with the implications. Eventually it becomes a fatal obsession, his usual caution thrown to the wind, literally, to the disease-bearing sirocco. There are moments of surpassing loveliness in this often philosophical and poetic short novella. Mann's descriptions of Tadzio, the boy, are undeniably swoon inducing and the sensory descriptions of Venice are tangible and evocative. There's been much ado about various translations of this book; the most common being the one by H.T. Lowe-Porter, which I read. I didn't find anything particularly wrong with it, as a read. As for the translation itself, how can I know? I'm not bilingual. The first few pages are a tad difficult, but that is mainly due to Mann's meticulous and possibly imprecise attempts to explore various approaches to the artistic ideal and his highly detailed and repetitive explanations of Aschenbach's self-disciplinary nature. After that, when our man is on the boat to Venice, the book is mostly smooth going. I need to go back and watch the Luchino Visconti film with Dirk Bogarde, which is great, but unseen by me for many years.
