The Magic Mountain : [Complete & Annotated]

The Magic Mountain (German: Der Zauberberg) is a novel by Thomas Mann, first published in German in November 1924. It is widely considered to be one of the most influential works of twentieth-century German literature.

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 Death in Venice, a novella that he was preparing for publication. The newer work reflected his experiences and impressions during a period when his wife, who was suffering from a lung complaint, resided at Dr. Friedrich Jessen's Waldsanatorium in Davos, Switzerland for several months. In May and June 1912, Mann visited her and became acquainted with the team of doctors and patients in this cosmopolitan institution. According to Mann, in the afterword that was later included in the English translation of his novel, this stay inspired his opening chapter ("Arrival").

The outbreak of World War I interrupted his work on the book. The savage conflict and its aftermath led the author to undertake a major re-examination of European bourgeois society. He explored the sources of the destructiveness displayed by much of civilised humanity. He was also drawn to speculate about more general questions related to 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 S. Fischer Verlag in Berlin.

The narrative opens in the decade before World War I. It introduces the protagonist, Hans Castorp, the only child of a Hamburg merchant family. Following the early death of his parents, Castorp has been brought up by his grandfather and later, by a maternal uncle named James Tienappel. Castorp is in his early 20s, about to take up a shipbuilding career in Hamburg, his home town. Before beginning work, he undertakes a journey to visit his tubercular cousin, Joachim Ziemssen, who is seeking a cure in a sanatorium in Davos, high up in the Swiss Alps. In the opening chapter, Castorp leaves his familiar life and obligations, in what he later learns to call "the flatlands", to visit the rarefied mountain air and introspective small world of the sanatorium.

    Thomas Mann

    Thomas Mann (1875 – 1955) var tysk forfatter. Buddenbrooks, som udkom første gang i 1901 var Thomas Manns romandebut, som hurtigt blev en bestseller og gjorde ham verdensberømt. Det var bl.a. også på grund af Buddenbrooks, at Thomas Mann i 1929 blev tildelt Nobelprisen i litteratur. Thomas Manns forfatterskab indbefatter desuden bl.a. Døden i Venedig fra 1912 og Trolddomsbjerget fra 1924, som han skrev stærkt inspireret af Henrik Pontoppidans De dødes rige. Thomas Mann var åbenlys modstander af naziregimet i Tyskland, og måtte emigrere først til Frankrig og senere til USA, hvor man blev professor ved Princeton University.
