Hiervon war Hans Castorp nun peinlich berührt, besonders da die Majorin das Wort »Flirt« obendrein nicht richtig, das heißt nicht englisch, sondern mit deutschem i ausgesprochen hatte, was ihn maßlos irritierte.

This is a novel that, like its themes of time and death, elude straightforward explanation. You will either love it or hate it, find yourself bewitched by Mann’s prose or completely bored by his philosophizing. It is a story about a world and a way of life that has completely disappeared from this earth, and the fevered delusion many people lived under that kept them from seeing the fast approaching annihilation of their lifestyle. I’m sure I’ve made it all sound terribly sad, and it certainly has its moments, but there is a surprising amount of humor as well.

Zoals Hans Castorp in een reis die 2 weken zou duren uiteindelijk 7 jaar sukkelde, heb ik zelf de maanden in dit Zwitsers sanatorium voorbij zien vliegen.
