The Magic Mountain to go (Mann in 10.5 minutes)
Вставка

- It is stunning, how little the world has changed in the last hundred years if you look at the metaphysical struggle that dominates THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN, Thomas Mann’s famous novel: Young Hans Castorp enters the sanatorium Berghof in Davos in 1907 and spends seven years in this surreal biosphere in which rich people are dying together with sanity and liberalism. The representatives of humanism, first and forward Castorp’s mentor Settembrini, loose touch with reality and have to make way for the extremists of the world, personified by the Jesuit Naphta, whose suicide in the end is like the first shot of World War One - the apocalypse of European culture. Watch a compact and entertaining summary of the novel provided by Michael Sommer and his Playmobil cast. DISCLAIMER: WATCHING THIS VIDEO DOES NOT REPLACE READING THE ORIGINAL. It's a summary, which means I have left out loads of things. I recommend reading it for yourselves and hope my little video will entice you to do so.

You’re doing good, intellectual work here. Keep it up!
"i hope you are vaccinated"...what a foresight in 2017 ;)
Outstanding video! Keep up the good work!
This is one of the best things I’ve seen on UA-cam. Thank you.
Fine summary, and very amusing too.... tho' I agree with your footnote, it does label and limit the scope of the narrative somewhat.
Great job! FWIW (to English-only speakers), the recording of the John E. Woods translation, produced by Ukemi, and read by David Rintoul, is the most astonishing audiobook I've ever heard. My Audible library has hundreds of volumes and Magic Mountain tops them all.
Brilliant. Perfectly narrated.
Useful information, I was listening to the German audiobook and since it´s not my first language I missed the fact that He probably did have some sexy time with Madame Chauchat.
best book ever
OMG!!! I wish I could hug u for that! Lovely!!!
From the overture to William tell to an ad about disinfectant. Der zauberberg really is something else. One of the most influential novels I've ever read, one of the most inspiring. No Thomas Mann's around these days. I made a film about Mann's life and work recently, really enjoyed doing it. Best wishes, Noel, a playwright and poet in London town
That was so good! Great job!
Well done summary ! Am reading it ...
That's one interpretation.
I have read The Magic Mountain three times. I guess it is favourite novel. After my last reading of it I think the weakness of the novel is the ending. Would the German army have accepted Hans Castrop, a thirty year old man with a serious illness? The battle scene reminded me of another famous novel of the niineteen twenties, "All quiet on the Western Front".
Brilliant!
Great work brother!
You’re conclusion was “enlightening”👋
this is exceptional
Incredible book
Amazing. Mentioning vaccination 5 years ago.
YOU NED FLANDERS
I only watched this so i don't have to read it, this is like shutter island but longer and gay.
*Bisexual.
creative, tommy would have liked it!
There's many wrong details, going from the novel itself to Mann's life... too bad because the accent really made me enjoy the names of the characters.
Thank you for your comment. I‘m sure it would be even more valuable for others if you gave examples of what in your opinion are „wrong details“.
@@SommersWeltliteraturToGo in the novel, Hans goes to the sanatory at age 23 not 24 (This is really important even if in the video it was wrong by one year because time is one of the most important things in the novel). Also, Thomas Mann was not bisexual, he was homosexual and had incestual and pederast tendencies which can be confirmed his own diaries.
@@Saephaan Thank you for your clarification. It appears that two very respectable literary dictionaries have Hans' age wrong, he is indeed 23 when arriving at the sanatory, so thanks for setting that detail right. As to the sexual orientation of Thomas Mann, there are six arguments for calling him bisexual rather than homosexual: his children Erika, Klaus, Golo, Monika, Elisabeth and Michael. This, however, is in my opinion a matter of interpretation, and not of fact.
@@SommersWorldLiteratureToGo well, I believe Mann's personal diaries have more weight on his sexuality than the opinions of his children.
👍👍👍
What the fuck is this? Hahaha.
Nationalism and hate? Those 2 words need not be entwined.
Only if you entwine Socialism or Communism and hate, otherwise it's biased
Doesn't have to but today those words have become synonym. Today's nationalists are xenophobes, homophobes, antisemites, islamophobes, etc.
First class .! Who says Germans have no sense of humour.
Der Zauberberg is - I regret to say ,- tedious pontificating from a cast of
bourgeois bores. If only Nietzsche had been there...! Or Lenin ?
I seriously doubt whether Mann had ever met an actual ' real ' person.
He certainly had zero knowledge / understanding of Women.
*Thomas Mann and his Hanseatic, Lubeck family had it all: wealth, beautiful wife, children, multiple suicides, pedophilia, homosexuality and great works of literature. Novels our new generations, unfortunately, will not read unless for literary classes. Bangkok-Johnnie CarSanook Media THAILAND*
John K Lindgren what a foolish summary!
