    		"Aschenbach checks into his hotel, where at dinner he sees an aristocratic Polish family at a nearby table. Among them is an adolescent boy in a sailor suit; Aschenbach, startled, realizes that the boy is beautiful...Aschenbach overhears the lad's name, Tadzio, and conceives what he tells himself is an abstract, artistic interest."

    Death in Venice was written by the German author Thomas Mann, and was first published in 1912 as Der Tod in Venedig.
