Thanks to everyone who joined for our discussion of Djuna Barnes’ *Nightwood*. As always, it was a pleasure to see both familiar and new faces, and I hope you all enjoyed the conversation. The next book to read is *[Death in Venice](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/53061.Death_in_Venice)* (*Der Tod in Venedig*, 1912) by [Thomas Mann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Mann). Set in the beautiful but decaying city of Venice, the novella follows Gustav von Aschenbach, a distinguished writer who travels south in search of rest and inspiration. There he becomes fascinated by a young Polish boy whose beauty gradually awakens emotions and obsessions that challenge his sense of order, discipline, and self-control. A short description of the book reads: One of the most celebrated works of twentieth-century literature, *Death in Venice* is a haunting exploration of beauty, desire, art, aging, and mortality. Combining psychological depth with rich symbolism, Thomas Mann’s novella remains one of the defining works of European modernism. You can read more about the book on Wikipedia [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_in_Venice), find it on Goodreads [here](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53061.Death_in_Venice?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=7z83p9EOgb&rank=1), and listen to it as an audiobook on YouTube [here](https://youtu.be/f-JK5W99LVs?si=o8T2fgHe-Hn95sTe). There is also a famous [film adaptation](https://www.justwatch.com/dk/movie/death-in-venice) from 1971, directed by Luchino Visconti. The film won several international awards and is widely regarded as one of the finest literary adaptations ever made. It is particularly noted for its stunning cinematography, its use of music by Gustav Mahler, and its faithful recreation of the atmosphere of Mann’s novella. For other resources on how to get a hold of classic books, please see the [About](https://www.meetup.com/copenhagen-classic-book-book-club/) section on the front page of the group. Please note that I know we originally agreed to meet on Saturday, August 22nd. However, after doing a bit of research and realizing just how short *Death in Venice* actually is, essentially a novella—depending on the edition, it ranges from roughly 56 to 140 pages—I have decided to move the discussion forward to Saturday, July 4th instead. I hope everyone will still be able to make it. This way, we’ll also have plenty of time to choose and read another book during the summer. We meet up on **Saturday, July 4th, at 4 p.m.** The location will once again be the [Royal Library Garden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Library_Garden,_Copenhagen). During the spring and summer months, we always meet outside here. If the weather turns rainy, we will simply move indoors. Please remember to bring your suggestion for the next classic book to read. Also, if you plan to attend, please remember to click “Attend” on Meetup. Likewise, if you know that you won’t be able to make it, it is very helpful if you update your RSVP accordingly. It makes it easier for everyone to get an idea of how many people to expect. And, as always, please be mindful and respectful of each other, so that everyone feels welcome and appreciated. In the meantime, happy reading/listening/watching — or however you prefer to do it.
