5/19/2023 0 Comments The Magic Mountain by Thomas MannA decent rent left after the death of the parents, and a “good reason” in the form of an illness, open up for the main character a unique opportunity to be who he is – that is, no one: a person who lives on a strictly routine basis, eats tasty, falls in love, has fun and students. Raised by a cousin, Hans Castorp is portrayed by the author as a “simpleton,” more likely to do nothing than work. Unnoticed by a young man, a three-week vacation turns into a seven-year period of treatment of small “wet foci”. The original idea remained in “The Magic Mountain” in the image of the protagonist – twenty-two-year-old engineer Hans Castorp, who arrived at the Berggof sanatorium to visit his cousin, a patient with tuberculosis, Joachim Zimsen. The two-volume novel was released in 1924 by S. Work on the “The Magic Mountain” was started in 1912, interrupted by the First World War and again resumed in 1920. The main idea of the work was to make fun of human inability to real life and, as a result, the flight of the individual into illness. The novel “The Magic Mountain” grew out of a satirical novel that Thomas Mann decided to write after visiting one of Davos sanatoriums, where his wife Katya was being treated at that time.
