by Thomas Mann (Author)
El propio Thomas Mann advierte que esta novela trata sobre «la pasi n como desequilibrio y degradaci n .
Gustav Aschenbach, «arroyo de cenizas en alem n, es un escritor maduro que goza de reconocimiento. Llega a Venecia en busca de inspiraci n, pero tambi n de llenar sus d as con reflexiones est ticas en un entorno id lico. En el hotel coincide con Tadzio, un joven de polaco que se encuentra de vacaciones con su familia. El muchacho se convierte en objeto de deseo y adoraci n; un amor ideal e imposible basado en la contemplaci n est tica y que llevar a Aschenbach a renunciar a todo, incluso a s mismo. «Hay, entre los resquicios de esa historia, un abismo que ella deja entrever y que inmediatamente identificamos en nosotros mismos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Thomas Mann's novel The Magic Mountain presents a panorama of European society in the first two decades of the 20th century and depicts the philosophical and metaphysical dilemmas facing people in the modern age. In the years leading up to the First World War, the fundamental elements of human nature were thrown into sharp relief by the political tensions that resulted in the ultimate metaphor for the innate destructiveness of humankind: the War itself. If such a war is the true expression of human tendencies, what hope is there for the future? Through the figure of the main character of the novel, Thomas Mann explores the alternative philosophies of life available to human beings in the modern age, and invites the reader to undertake a personal odyssey of discovery, with a view to adopting a positive approach in an era that seems to offer no clear-cut answers. This book is a comprehensive commentary on Thomas Mann's seminal novel, one of the key literary artefacts of the 20th century. The author has taken upon himself the task of explaining all the references and allusions contained in the novel, and of providing readers who know little or no German with enough explanatory comments to enable them to understand the novel and extract the maximum reading pleasure from it.Author Biography
Thomas Mann (1875#1955), genial ensayista y narrador alemán, nació en Lübeck (Alemania) en el seno de una familia de la alta burguesía. En 1891 se trasladó a Munich tras la muerte de su padre y no tardó en iniciar una intensa actividad literaria, dirigida sobre todo a revistas, hasta que a los veinticinco años publicó su primera novela, Los Buddenbrook (1901), que le otorgó una fama mundial inmediata. Sus siguientes obras #Tonio Kröger (1903), Alteza real (1909) y La muerte en Venecia (1912)# reflejan el intento del escritor por aprehender el mundo a través de valores estéticos. En los albores de la Primera Guerra Mundial publicó Señor y perro (1918) y Reflexiones de un apolítico (1918), obra que causó consternación en los círculos intelectuales al enarbolar la bandera del imperialismo alemán y atizar el odio contra Francia. Sin embargo, los movimientos revolucionarios de la Europa de posguerra le hicieron cambiar hacia posiciones socialdemócratas. Reflejo de esta etapa de transición es la novela La montaña mágica (1924), obra cumbre de la literatura universal. Más adelante publicó Mario y el mago (1929) y el ensayo «Sufrimientos y grandeza de Richard Wagner» (1933, contenido en el presente volumen), que jalona la trayectoria de su propia vida, la cual, desde ese mismo año, se convierte en un eterno exilio entre Zurich y California. Convertido ya en un ferviente defensor de la democracia en sus ensayos, en su obra narrativa #José y sus hermanos (1933-43), Carlota en Weimar (1939), Doctor Faustus (1947) o Confesiones del estafador Félix Krull (1954)# recurrió al mito para tratar los problemas del mundo moderno y defender los principios humanistas ante el peligro de una nueva barbarie. En 1929 la Academia Sueca le concedió el Premio Nobel de Literatura.
