Published in English1927,The Magic Mountain (German: Der Zauberberg) is a by, first published in November 1924. It is widely considered to be one of the most influential works of 20th century.Mann started writing what was to become The Magic Mountain in 1912. It began as a much shorter narrative which revisited in a comic manner aspects of, a that he was then preparing for publication. The newer work reflected his experiences and impressions during a period when his wife, who was suffering from a lung complaint, was confined to Dr. Friedrich Jessen's Waldsanatorium in, Switzerland for several months. In May and June 1912 Mann visited her and became acquainted with the team of doctors who were treating her in this cosmopolitan institution. According to Mann, in the afterword that was later included in the English translation, this stay became the foundation of the opening chapter ( Arrival) of the completed novel.The outbreak of the interrupted work on the book.
The conflict and its aftermath led the author to undertake a major re-examination of European bourgeois society, including the sources of the willful, perverse destructiveness displayed by much of civilised humanity. He was also drawn to speculate about more general questions surrounding personal attitudes to life, health, illness, sexuality and mortality. Given this, Mann felt compelled to radically revise and expand the pre-war text before completing it in 1924. Der Zauberberg was eventually published in two volumes by in.Mann's vast composition is erudite, subtle, ambitious, but, most of all, ambiguous; since its original publication it has been subject to a variety of critical assessments.
For example, the book blends a scrupulous with deeper undertones. Given this complexity, each reader is obliged to weigh up the artistic significance of the pattern of events set out within the narrative, a task made more difficult by the author's irony. Mann himself was well aware of his book's elusiveness, but offered few clues about approaches to the text. He later compared it to a symphonic work orchestrated with a number of themes and, in a playful commentary on the problems of interpretation, recommended that those who wished to understand it should read it through twice.

Mountain scenery at, the novel's Alpine settingThe narrative opens in the decade before. We are introduced to the central protagonist of the story, Hans Castorp, the only child of a merchant family who, following the early death of his parents, has been brought up by his grandfather and subsequently by an uncle named James Tienappel. We encounter him when he is in his early 20s, about to take up a shipbuilding career in Hamburg, his home town. Just before beginning this professional career Castorp undertakes a journey to visit his tubercular cousin, Joachim Ziemssen, who is seeking a cure in a in, high up in the. In the opening chapter, Hans is symbolically transported away from the familiar life and mundane obligations he has known, in what he later learns to call 'the flatlands', to the rarefied mountain air and introspective little world of the sanatorium.Castorp's departure from the sanatorium is repeatedly delayed by his failing health.
What at first appears to be a minor bronchial infection with slight is diagnosed by the sanatorium's chief doctor and director, Hofrat nb 1 Behrens, as symptoms of. Hans is persuaded by Behrens to stay until his health improves.During his extended stay, Castorp meets and learns from a variety of characters, who together represent a microcosm of pre-war Europe. These include the and Lodovico Settembrini (a student of ), the -turned- Leo Naphta, the Mynheer Peeperkorn, and his Madame Clavdia Chauchat.In the end, Castorp remains in the morbid atmosphere of the sanatorium for seven years. At the conclusion of the novel, the war begins, Castorp volunteers for the military, and his possible, or probable, demise upon the battlefield is portended.Literary significance and criticismThe Magic Mountain can be read both as a classic example of the European – a 'novel of education' or 'novel of formation' – and as a sly of this genre. Many formal elements of this type of fiction are present: like the protagonist of a typical Bildungsroman, the immature Castorp leaves his home and learns about art, culture, politics, human frailty and love.
Also embedded within this vast novel are extended reflections on the experience of time, music, nationalism, sociological issues and changes in the natural world. Hans Castorp’s stay in the rarefied air of The Magic Mountain thus provides him with a panoramic view of pre-war European civilization and its discontents.Thomas Mann’s description of the subjective experience of serious illness and the gradual process of medical institutionalization are of interest in themselves, as are his allusions to the irrational forces within the human psyche at a time when Freudian psychoanalysis was becoming prominent. These themes relate to the development of Castorp's character over the time span covered by the novel, a point that the author himself underlined. In his discussion of the work, written in English, published in the Atlantic in 1953 Mann states that 'what Hans came to understand is that one must go through the deep experience of sickness and death to arrive at a higher sanity and health.' At the core of this complex work is an encyclopaedic survey of the ideas and debates associated with. Mann acknowledged his debt to the skeptical insights of concerning modern humanity and embodied this in the novel in the arguments between the characters. Throughout the book the author employs the discussion with and between Settembrini, Naphta and the medical staff to introduce the impressionable Castorp to a wide spectrum of competing ideologies about responses to the.
However, whereas the classical Bildungsroman would conclude by having 'formed' Castorp into a mature member of society, with his own world view and greater self-knowledge, The Magic Mountain ends as it has to for 'life's problem child' as a simultaneously anonymous and communal conscript, one of millions, under fire on some battlefield of World War I.Major themes. According to the author, he originally planned The Magic Mountain as a; a humorous, ironic, satirical (and satyric) follow-up to, which he had completed in 1912. The atmosphere was to derive from the 'mixture of death and amusement' that Mann had encountered whilst visiting his wife in a Swiss sanatorium. This fascination with death, the triumph of ecstatic disorder over a life devoted to order, which he had explored in Death in Venice was supposed to be transferred to a comedic plane.Thus, The Magic Mountain contains many contrasts and parallels with the earlier novel.
The established author Gustav von Aschenbach is matched to a young, callow engineer at the start of a humdrum career. The erotic allure of the beautiful Polish boy Tadzio corresponds to the Asiatic-flabby ('asiatisch-schlaff') Russian Madame Chauchat.
The setting itself has shifted both geographically and symbolically; switching from the flooded and diseased Italian coastlands to an alpine resort famed for its health-giving properties, with the threat of a fatal cholera infection in Venice becoming the sanatorium's promise of a respite from, or a cure for, tuberculosis.Illness and death. The Berghof patients suffer from some form of tuberculosis, which rules the daily routines, thoughts, and conversations of the 'Half-a-lung club'. The disease ends fatally for many of the patients, such as the Catholic girl Barbara Hujus whose fear of death is heightened in a harrowing scene, and cousin Ziemssen who leaves this world like an ancient hero. The dialogues between Settembrini and Naphta discuss the theme of life and death from a metaphysical perspective. Besides the deaths from fatal illness, two characters commit suicide, and finally Castorp goes off to fight in, and it is implied that he will be killed on the battlefield.In the above-mentioned comment Mann writes:'What Castorp learns to fathom is that all higher health must have passed through illness and death.
As Hans Castorp once says to Madame Chauchat, there are two ways to life: One is the common, direct, and brave. The other is bad, leading through death, and that is the genius way. This concept of illness and death, as a necessary passage to knowledge, health, and life, makes The Magic Mountain into a novel of initiation.' Closely connected to the themes of life and death is the subjective nature of, a that recurs throughout the book—here the influence of is evident. Thus Chapter VII, entitled 'By the Ocean of Time', opens with the narrator asking rhetorically, 'Can one tell – that is to say, narrate – time, time itself, as such, for its own sake?' Mann's authorial (and ironic) response to the question posed is, 'That would surely be an absurd undertaking.' , before going on to compare storytelling to the act of music making, with both described as being alike in that they can,'.only present themselves as a flowing, as a succession in time, as one thing after another.'
.The Magic Mountain, in essence, embodies the author's meditations on the of experience.The narrative is ordered chronologically but it accelerates throughout the novel, so that the first five chapters relate only the first of Castorp’s seven years at the sanatorium in great detail; the remaining six years, marked by monotony and routine, are described in the last two chapters. This asymmetry corresponds to Castorp’s own skewed perception of the passage of time.This structure reflects the protagonists’ thoughts. Throughout the book, they discuss the, and debate whether 'interest and novelty dispel or shorten the content of time, while monotony and emptiness hinder its passage'. The characters also reflect on the problems of and time, about the correspondence between the length of a narrative and the duration of the events it describes.Mann also meditates upon the interrelationship between the experience of time and space; of time seeming to pass more slowly when one doesn't move in space.
This aspect of the novel mirrors contemporary philosophical and scientific debates which are embodied in writings and 's, in which space and time are inseparable. In essence, Castorp's subtly transformed perspective on the 'flat-lands' corresponds to a movement in time.Magic and mountains. Parzival: knights ascend to the Grail CastleAccording to the author, the protagonist is a questing knight, the 'pure fool' looking for the in the tradition of. However, he remains pale and mediocre, representing a German bourgeois that is torn between conflicting influences – capable of the highest humanistic ideals, yet at the same time prone to both stubborn and radical ideologies.
As usual, Mann chooses his protagonist's name carefully: Hans is a generic German first name, almost anonymous, but also refers to the fairy tale figure of and the apostle ( Johannes in German), the favourite disciple of Jesus, who beholds the ( Offenbarung des Johannes in German). Castorp is the name of a prominent historic figure, of Mann's hometown,. The ' is Danish, not unexpected on the German north coast.In a way, Hans Castorp can be seen as the incorporation of the young: Both humanism and radicalism, represented by Settembrini and Naphta, try to win his favour, but Castorp is unable to decide. His body temperature is a subtle metaphor for his lack of clarity: Following ’s theory of fever, Castorp’s temperature is 37.6°C, which is neither healthy nor ill, but an intermediate point. Furthermore the outside temperature in Castorp's residence is out of balance: it is either too warm or too cold and tends to extremes (e.g. Snow in August), but never normal.Settembrini: Humanism.
Ruggiero LeoncavalloSettembrini represents the active and positive ideal of the, of,. He often finds Castorp literally in the dark and switches on the light before their conversations. He compares himself to of Greek mythology, who brought of fire and enlightenment to Man. His own mentor has even written a hymn to another lightbringer: to, 'la forza vindice della ragione.' His ethics are those of bourgeois values and labor.
He tries to counter Castorp's morbid fascination with death and disease, warns him against the ill Madame Chauchat, and tries to demonstrate a positive outlook on life.His antagonist Naphta describes him as 'Zivilisationsliterat'. Mann originally constructed Settembrini as a caricature of the liberal-democratic novelist, represented for example by his own brother. However, while the novel was written, Mann himself became an outspoken supporter of the, which may explain why Settembrini, especially in the later chapters, becomes the authorial voice.Settembrini's physical characteristics are reminiscent of the Italian composer.Naphta: Radicalism.
