Abstract

Food and eating descriptions play a central role in Thomas Manns narrative: they are a suitable device for portraying characters and situations by mixing reality and symbols, and can be interpreted at different levels. The paper will investigate in particular the role of food descriptions in the short
story Der Tod in Venedig (1912) and in the novel Buddenbrooks (1901).
