First American edition of this translation, and first separate edition in America (published in 1925 by Knopf as *Death in Venice and Other Stories* as translated by Kenneth Burke). Translated by H.T. Lowe-Porter. Introduction by Ludwig Lewisohn. Fine in a very slightly spine-toned, fine dust jacket with nominal flaws. Exceptionally scarce.

Death in Venice is a novella that explores the complexities of art, youth, and desire through the experiences of a distinguished author who becomes infatuated with a beautiful boy in Venice.
