A sanitorium in the Swiss Alps reflects the societal ills of pre-twentieth-century Europe, and a young marine engineer rises from his life of anonymity to become a pivotal character in a story about how a human's environment affects self identity. In this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Mann uses a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps, a community devoted exclusively to sickness, as a microcosm for Europe, which in the years before 1914 was already exhibiting the first symptoms of its own terminal irrationality. The Magic Mountain is a monumental work of erudition and irony, sexual tension and intellectual ferment, a book that pulses with life in the midst of death.… (mais)
mousse: La narración se basa en las experiencias del autor, aquejado de tísis osea, en el sanatorio de Berck, en la costa francesa.El ambiente en el sanatorio y las relaciones entre los pacientes son similares.
Hans Castorp, recém-formado na universidade e prestes a se tornar engenheiro civil, chega ao Sanatório Berghof, nos Alpes Suíços, para visitar seu primo Joachim, um oficial do exército, que ali se recupera de tuberculose. Com a intenção de permanecer três semanas no Berghof, Hans é gradualmente contaminado pela atmosfera mórbida que impregna o local. Desejando muito ser considerado um paciente como os demais, ele consegue seus objetivos e permanece no sanatório por sete anos. Durante esse tempo, tem tempo suficiente para participar dos furiosos debates filosóficos que opõem Settembrini, um humanista secular, e Naphta, um jesuíta totalitário. E para se apaixonar pela bela mas enigmática Clawdia Chauchat. Quando finalmente recebe alta em 1914 – junto com todos os outros pacientes – é apenas para mergulhar nos horrores da Primeira Guerra Mundial. ( )

The story of Hans Castorp, which we would here set forth, not on his own account, for in him the reader will make acquaintance with a simple-minded though pleasing young man, but for the sake of the story itself, which seems to us highly worth telling – though it must needs be borne in mind, in Hans Castorp's behalf, that it is his story, and not every story happens to everybody – this story, we say, belongs to the long ago; it is already, so to speak, covered with historical mould, and unquestionably to be presented in the tense best suited to a narrative out of the depth of the past.

Well, about the skin. What do you want to hear about your sensory sheath? You know, don't you, that it is your outside brain - ontogenetically the same as that apparatus of the so-called higher centres up there in your cranium? The central nervous system is nothing but a modification of the outer skin-layer; among the lower animals the distinction between central and peripheral doesn't exist, they smell and taste with their skin, it is the only sensory organ they have. Must be rather nice – if you can put yourself in their place. On the other hand, in such highly differentiated forms of life as you and I are, the skin has fallen from its high estate; it has to confine itself to feeling ticklish; that is to say, to being simply a protective and registering apparatus - but devilishly on the qui vive for anything that tries to come too close about the body. It even puts our feelers – the body hairs, which are nothing but hardened skin cells - and they get wind of the approach of whatever it is, before the skin is touched. Just between ourselves, it is quite possible that this protecting and defending function of the skin extends beyond the physical. Do you know what makes you go red and pale?

Out of this universal feast of death, out of this extremity of fever, kindling the rain-washed evening sky to a fiery glow, may it be that Love one day shall mount?
