“Unlike me, Tokarczuk didn’t have a particularly religious upbringing. Nor had she encountered Emerentia in a catalogue of saints’ lives; instead, she found the name, whose thread she followed, in Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain”

…and that last step to the atom ultimately proved, without exaggeration, to be a fateful one. For at the moment of the final division, the final miniaturization of matter, suddenly the whole cosmos opened up.

“It's your basic library! You got your newspapers on wooden sticks if you like that sort of thing! They've got their share of books too! Though incredibly The Magic Mountain isn't one of them!

Dostojewskis Wendung vom noch nicht gesprochenen neuen Wort Deutschlands spielt im Zauberberg-Abschnitt „Fülle des Wohllauts“, wo das Lindenbaum-Lied zitiert wird, eine wichtige Rolle.

📚🐦 #Mann2024 Thanks to @paperpills10.bsky.social and all for the discussion of #TheMagicMountain. I was a little disappointed in how Bluesky worked … I’m sure I missed some comments from other readers. Would it be better back on X?
In making a mystery of the personality, you run a risk of idol-worship. You do reverence to a hollow mask.

He saw that the enchantment was broken, that he was released, set free—not by his own actions, as he had to admit to his shame, but set free by elementary external forces, for whom his liberation was a very irrelevant matter.

The exchange of greetings consisted of mute bows, so stiff they were practically indiscernible.

📚🐦 #Mann2024 . 🤔 Just reading a little ancillary stuff on #TheMagicMountain and ran across a declaration that Settembrini was obviously gay but sublimating his sexuality into pedagogy (leading the young). I can see this, though I wasn’t thinking of it while reading.
📚🐦 #Mann2024. I finished #TheMagicMountain and I’m thinking of the despair Settembrini must feel in the last chapter… the believer in human improvement.

I was more shocked by the fact of a duel! Naphta's suicide, though, seemed to fit with him. There were so many little oddities leading up to the duel scene that I went into it with a strong feeling something unusual would happen.
📚🐦 #Mann2024 Farewell, Hans, life’s problem child playing at being king, a mediocre man, an Everyman of the pre-war years, criss-crossed by the intellectual currents of the times.
What is it? Where are we? Whither has the dream snatched us?

📚🐦 #Mann2024. Spoiler alert. It’s been so long since I read #TheMagicMountain that I was shocked at Naphta’s suicide at the duel. Though he always expressed some hostility towards the human body and embodied life. What did others think?

Thank you, Reem and The Magic Mountain friends for the humorous, enriching reading, loved it!

but sternly, solemnly, penitentially, ooo—perhaps not even among the living
„Heimsuchung“—a central theme across the works of Mann throughout his life—missing in my E translation.

The Grail is a mystery, but humanity is a mystery too. For man himself is a mysterv, and all humanity rests upon reverence before the mystery that is man.

the world that in The Magic Mountain is called “ questionable.” He is forever searching for the Grail -that is to say, the Highest: knowledge, wisdom, consecration, the
philosophers’ stone, the aurum potabile , the elixir of life.
