(10[6])A (10[1])jester (10[2])claims that (10[1])“the sirocco is oppressive” in this novella in response (-5[1])to a question about disinfecting (10[1])procedures, (10[2])which are actually in place (10[1])because of a cholera (10[1])epidemic. (10[4]-5[1])While (10[1])trying to follow the Polish boy (10[1])Tadzio, (10[4])this novella’s (10[1])protagonist dies after (10[1])eating overripe (10[1])strawberries.
