In this powerful new audiobook, Thomas Mann's Death in Venice is brought to life by James Warwick, star of the Agatha Christie series Tommy and Tuppence on Masterpiece Theatre. At this later stage in his life, Warwick is perfectly cast and will transport you to the decadent canals of Venice, where the distinguished author Gustav von Aschenback finds himself enthralled by the ethereal beauty of a young boy named Tadzio. Warwick’s performance perfectly captures the emotional turmoil of Aschenbach and is followed by an interview in which the actor-director talks with producer Alison Larkin about meeting Dirk Bogarde as a young man, and his experience narrating the great novel.
Other audiobooks narrated by James Warwick include his Audiofile Earphones award winning recording of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, The Mysterious Affair at Styles and Murder on the Links by Agatha Christie and the delightful, hilarious award-winning two actor recording of The Importance of Being Earnest which he performs with Alison Larkin.
