Волшебная гора

"Volshebnai͡a gora" (1924) - odno iz samykh izvestnykh proizvedeniĭ vydai͡ushchegosi͡a nemet͡skogo pisateli͡a Tomasa Manna (1875-1955), laureata Nobelevskoĭ premii po literature (1929), priznannoe odnim iz kli͡uchevykh filosofskikh romanov XX veka. Napri͡azhennye dukhovnye poiski geroev i legkai͡a ironii͡a avtora, pereosmyslenie skazok i mifov, otsylki k shedevram mirovoĭ literatury (Gëte, Tolstomu i Dostoevskomu) - v "Volshebnoĭ gore" nashli otrazhenie vse osobennosti tvorcheskoĭ manery Manna. Molodoĭ inzhener Gans Kastorp priezzhaet v Alʹpy, chtoby navestitʹ dvoi͡urodnogo brata, kotoryĭ lechitsi͡a v zateri͡annom sredi gornykh vershin sanatorii. Gans uveren, chto ne zaderzhitsi͡a zdesʹ, - emu ne terpitsi͡a vernutʹsi͡a "vniz", k karʹere, mechtam i nastoi͡ashcheĭ, polnoĭ i burnoĭ zhizni. Odnako vopreki vsem ozhidanii͡am on ostaetsi͡a na "volshebnoĭ gore" - v malenʹkom mire neslozhnykh prot͡sedur i nespeshnykh filosofskikh besed na fone velikolepnykh alʹpiĭskikh peĭzazheĭ.

The Magic Mountain (1924) is one of the most famous works of the outstanding German writer Thomas Mann (1875-1955), winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature (1929), recognized as one of the key philosophical novels of the 20th century. Intense spiritual search for the characters and the author's light irony, reinterpretation of fairy tales and myths, references to masterpieces of world literature (Goethe, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky) — all the features of Mann's creative style are reflected in the "Magic Mountain". Young engineer Hans Castorp arrives in the Alps to visit his cousin, who is being treated in a sanatorium lost among the mountain peaks. Hans is sure that he will not stay here — he cannot wait to return "down" to his career, dreams and a real, full and stormy life. However, contrary to all expectations, he remains on the "magic mountain" — in a small world of simple procedures and unhurried philosophical conversations against the backdrop of magnificent Alpine landscapes.
