I am nearing the second reading of the Magic Mountain and also listening to the Audible book read most exquisitely by the actor David Rintoul. Wonderful to discover these you tubes and especially the fine audio Dramatiization.. Thank you for making this available!! Every treatment has its own special offering on Mann's excellent writing and the remarkable story conveyed..
I'm where you were one year ago...
Thomas Mann diaries are great
So grateful for this!
Thanks for it! Mann is my all time favorite author!
This is an extraordinary - What? Explication? Dramatization? Revivification? - of Mann’s extraordinary book. Thanks to all involved and to you for posting. Note there is a fine dramatization of the full book on UA-cam.
Returning to this again! Absolutely love this!
Thank you, I saw most of these on SBS, an Australian broadcast network, in the nineties, and not since. I am indebted to you.
thank you very much for this upload! I have been found it so long
I believe the music at 33.57 is 'Verklarte Nacht' (Transfigured Night) by Schoenberg. It is a gorgeous piece of music.
I read this at least twice in the 1960s. Reading it again now from a different point of view - how TB was treated before the use of antibiotics.
Thank you! Please, activate the automatic subtitles
Remember this from BBC tv. Mann's book was a tour de force. Naptha was supposedly based on G Lukacs. Few books captured a time so clearly, at every level.
Thanks for the upload! Do you know where the entire series might be available to watch or purchase?
*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*
Your observations speak volumes (pardon the pun) and are pretty accurate , however it's encouraging to see that many of these classic works have been made into movies that often arouse an interest in reading the original novels That's been my personal experience.
Do you know if there is a place for all of ERT productions from Greece?
6:08 *Guck Mal! Das it’s doch Eiger Nordwand im Hintergrund. Nicht war? Bangkok-Johnnie*
Pipercorn is the character I most identify with Ha! Ha!
Of course!, that is to say, it is settled!
Was this a movie prior to being a documentary?
Great book, heavy reading to be sure but the tone of the dramatizations in this documentary are completely off. So are the sets. Surprising really, seeing as it's a BBC production but I get the feeling whoever made it didn't read the book but instead the Cliff Notes explanation. A sign of the times I suppose.
Thanks so I don't have to waste my time now :)
Not at all. I find it the best of all the attempts to put the novel to screen.
Settembrini is not as laconic and detached as I envisioned him but Mme Chauchat is superb, attractive, self-absorbed, irresponsible. As a young man I had high expectations of her, but she leaves the sanitorium almost immediately afterwards. Naptha also is more vehement than I expect.These debates were passionate but intellectually detached.
I did not share Mann's enthusiasm for Nietsche who I find as repugnant as Wagner and later Heidegger. That is not the case with Schopenhaue, exccept his misogyny, but the debates between Naptha and Settembrini are compelling but Pepperkorn should worry us; his fascination is that which is exercised by the inarticulate and the inchoate on the masses. Mann eventually repudiates fascism. Some times, however, one worries that there is so much in the book that it licenses an entire critical industry has been spawned which confiscates the book from the reade
Seeing this cast one would lee to have seen the entire novel dramatised.
It’s Melvin Bragg “s narration !
What is 'coltour' 4.16?
Thanks for this
Is there Greek dubbing?
No.
what is the music called at 33:57?
stupid idiot

@@inkyguy I think it's from Verklarte Nacht? Its a long work though, so not sure which bit exactly....
I think it's from Verklarte Nacht? Its a long work though, so not sure which bit exactly....
Why does everybody avoid to name Naphta by his real name and his philosophy its proper name? CLericalism! And Dostoievsky's INquisitor explained it all... The same with Masonry. Why nobody mentions that? Mann said it all so openly, one would call him conspiracy theorist. And yet, complete silence... Is it because of the ignorance of theorists of literature or because of lack of sincerity?
Because I think the character serves a much broader critique. Mann is observing that the far left communists and far right fascists had similarities. Leo Naphta is an amalgamation of these ideas. It is a similar phenomenon how many German Social Democrats supported WW1 and their rhetoric began to mimic monarchist Prussian conservativism. Leo Nafta is the archetypal zealot while Settembrini an archetypal Humanist enlightenment rationalist. And Peeperkorn the romantic naive enthusiast.
Naphta I think directly refers to „Prussianism and Socialism a book by Oswald Spengler published in 1919
