《威尼斯之死》内容简介
榜样和化身!他望着蓝色海边的高贵身影,欣喜若狂地相信他已经拥抱着美本身,这一形象是上帝构思的产物,是寓于人类的纯洁完美的形象,是值得尊崇的人类形象和画像……书里说,太阳使理智和记忆混乱迷失,使人的灵魂因为纯粹的快乐和执着眷恋它所照射的最美丽的物体而忘乎所以,迷失方向:是的,它只有借助于某个物体,才有可能达到更高的境界。爱神模仿数学家,为了把抽象的概念传授给迟钝的孩子,必须借助于具体的模型;上帝也采用这种方式,为了向我们展示其伟大,利用年轻人的形体和肤色,使概念上的东西可视化,引起人们对美的反思,使我们在看到后既满怀忧伤,又燃起希望之火。

A brief introduction to Death in Venice
Role model and embodiment! He looked at the noble figure by the blue sea and was ecstatically convinced that he had embraced beauty itself, an image that was the product of God's conception, an image of purity and perfection in man, an image and portrait of man worthy of reverence... It says that the sun confuses reason and memory, that the human soul is carried away and disoriented by pure pleasure and attachment to the most beautiful object it illuminates: yes, it can reach a higher state only by means of some object. Love imitates the mathematician, who, in order to impart abstract concepts to the dull child, must resort to concrete models; In this way, too, God, in order to show us His greatness, uses the form and color of young people to visualize conceptual things, to provoke reflection on beauty, and to fill us with sorrow and hope when we see it.
