The Profile

German novelist and essayist (1875–1955), awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929.

Born in Lübeck (1875), died 1955. Nobel Prize in Literature, 1929.

A close, somewhat ironical reading of Der Zauberberg (The Magic Mountain) that admires Mann's orchestral prose while criticizing its digressions and slowness. The review highlights themes of time, illness, love and intellectual debate centered on Hans Castorp. Rating given: 3/5.
