About This Novel
"The Magic Mountain" is the masterpiece of Nobel Prize winner Thomas Mann. The novel is centered on a sanatorium and describes many feudal nobles and bourgeois figures in Europe, including Prussian officers, Russian ladies, Dutch colonists, Catholics... They are all parasites of society. The entire sanatorium is filled with a morbid and dying atmosphere, symbolizing the decline of capitalist civilization. The work reveals the kinship between decadence and fascism through the ideological conflicts between the characters.

At this age, life has not hurt us yet, and our sense of responsibility and regret have not yet dared to hurt us. At that time, we still dared to see, dare to listen, dare to laugh, dare to be surprised, and dare to dream.
It was very difficult to read, and I skipped through it. .
It should be very deep
Quite a name!
Good book, world classic
Hayao Miyazaki, anime, The Wind Rises as seen
