The Magic Mountain (German: Der Zauberberg, pronounced [deːɐ̯ ˈt͡saʊ̯bɐˌbɛʁk] (listen)) is a novel by Thomas …
Many signs are telling me that this has to be the year I finally read some Mann, and this book in particular. My German is far too rusty to read the original, but I found this apparently highly regarded translation at my local bookshop. The signs:
- Project 1933 using Mann's diaries as a source in most or all episodes so far.
- Time Shelter making a lot of explicit references to The Magic Mountain in its early sections.
- The Empusium which I'm hearing some raving about is apparently a modern take on the same story.
So... this won't be the next book I read because I need something lighter after Time Shelter (and have one in mind), but soon.
