Classics Revisited The Magic Mountain By Thomas Mann. When a visit to see his sick cousin turns into a seven-year stay in a sanatorium, Hans Castorp is confronted with an awakening to the realities of life in 20th-century Europe. The latest in our Classics Revisited webinar series, The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann follows Hans as he is diagnosed with tuberculosis and forced to re-evaluate his life and the chaos that is our world. Professor Michael Sugrue, Ph.D, will deliver a lecture dissecting this novel and a live Q&A will follow.
