Thomas Mann was a German writer.

Der Tod in Venedig (original German title), was first published in 1912. In 1925, it was translated to English as Death in Venice.

Mann's novella was adapted to film in 1971 by Luchino Visconti. It intruduced Björn Andrésen as Tadzio. In 2003, the feminist writer Germaine Greer used a photograph of him on the cover of her book The Beautiful Boy.
