El propio Thomas Mann advierte que esta novela trata sobre «la pasión como desequilibrio y degradación». Gustav Aschenbach, «arroyo de cenizas» en alemán, es un escritor maduro que goza de reconocimiento. Llega a Venecia en busca de inspiración, pero también de llenar sus días con reflexiones estéticas en un entorno idílico. En el hotel coincide con Tadzio, un joven de polaco que se encuentra de vacaciones con su familia. El muchacho se convierte en objeto de deseo y adoración; un amor ideal e imposible basado en la contemplación estética y que llevará a Aschenbach a renunciar a todo, incluso a sí mismo.
