Hans Castorp from Der Zauberberg/The Magic Mountain as a goat!!!!
He's a goat because in the book, he dreams at one point of being a satyr at peace in a forest, playing his little flute. I thought it was adorable, and goats fit him so well
(Also, I have some exciting painting art coming soon hehe)

Ah, esse sangue jovem, com suas mochilas e baionetas, capas e botas enlameadas! Sonhando de modo humanístico-estético, poderíamos imaginá-lo num quadro diferente. Poderíamos ter a seguinte visão: os jovens montando e banhando cavalos numa enseada do mar, caminhando pela praia em companhia da amada, achegando os lábios à orelha da noiva meiga, ou ensinando uns aos outros, amigos felizes, o tiro com arco. Em lugar disso, esse sangue jovem jaz com o nariz no barro bombardeado. Que façam isso com alegria, ainda que transidos de medo e cheios de saudades da mãe, é assunto à parte, que causa orgulho e envergonha, mas que jamais poderia ser razão para colocá-los nessa posição .
Eis ao nosso conhecido, eis ao nosso Hans Castorp! Já bem de longe o reconhecemos pela barbicha que deixou crescer, enquanto comia à mesa dos “russos ordinários”. Arde e está ensopado como os demais. Corre com os pés pesados pelo barro, segura o fuzil com o punho pendente. Vejam só: ele pisa a mão de um camarada desagregado — pisa essa mão com a bota ferrada e afunda-a no solo lamacento, salpicado de galhos lascados. E todavia é ele. Mas como pode ser? Está cantando! Ele canta, canta sem razão, de olhar vazio, por uma excitação vazia de pensamentos, e como quem aproveita a respiração ofegante para cantar de si para si, a meia voz:
“Talhei em sua casca
Mil coisas que senti…”
E caí. Não, ele se atirou no chão, porque um cão dos infernos chega uivando , um enorme obus, um pão de açúcar asqueroso saído do abismo. Está deitado, comprimindo o rosto no barro frio, pernas escancaradas e pés torcidos, colados ao chão. O produto de uma ciência asselvajada, munida do que há de pior, abate-se como o diabo em pessoa e trinta passos dele, penetra obliquamente no solo, explode lá embaixo com espantosa violência e joga à altura de uma casa um jorro de terra, fogo, ferro, chumbo e matéria humana despedaçada. Pois ali havia dois — dois amigos, que se haviam atirado um ao lado do outro, no momento de perigo: agora estão mesclados, sumidos.
Oh, que vergonha de nossa segurança nas sombras! Já é hora! Não vamos narrar mais!
Thomas Mann (A Montanha Mágica)

Would you look at the time...
What a godsend, he thought, that you could be certain mail would be distributed in the lobby every Sunday afternoon. One can say that he consumed one whole week waiting for the return of that single hour every seven days—and waiting means racing ahead, means seeing time and the present not as a gift, but as a barrier, denying and negating their value, vaulting over them in your mind. Waiting, people say, is boring. But in actuality, it can just as easily be diverting, because it devours quantities of time without our ever experiencing or using them for their own sake.
- Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain

Hans Castorp takes a shot of brandy every morning and night to help with his anemia, is neither a genius nor an idiot, but — and I quote — “mediocre, in a very honorable sense of the word”.
A plein air artist whose main subject are ships and seascapes — and like a true German, he enjoys taking long, long walks for leisure.
We’re currently being given a tour around the sanatorium and an introduction to the main characters. He plans to stay two weeks. The doctors think he might have tuberculosis.
The book is 1500 pages long.
@dearzauberberg
No, I do not think stopping a book in its early chapters to convey our protagonist's backstory is very intuitive. In the end, as a trinket of the past, it serves only to befuddle me; as I no longer know what is going on.
Compels me, though.

Another Scene from H. W. Geissendörfer´s movie adaption of Thomas Mann´s novel Zauberberg. The cousins Hans Castorp and Joachim Ziemssen are examined via crude early X-Ray machines. At one point you can see a live fluoroscopy of Ziemssen´s chest with diaphragm movements and his beating heart. As I said the whole story is a treasure trove for cardiophilia quirks, especially if you are into the primitive 19th and early 20th century medical equipment.

Trick or treat!! I'm wearing a Hans Castorp costume
Oh what a fascinating costume!
Tumblr media
Artemisia is a family of over 300 known species that span a complex web of culturally significant plants across the world.
Most famous among them is the Absinth, or Common Wormwood (Artemisia Absinthium) known for being the primary ingredient in the drink Absinthe as well as Vermouth- both of which started off as medicinal drinks. Second famous is Common Mugwort (Artemisia Vulgaris), and is a favorite alternative for Hops in brewing in some Scandinavian and Eastern European countries.
Both are very minor entheogenic herbs, however, and contain Thujone compounds- leading to the history of myths that Absinthe will make you hallucinate (it won't), and stories of death (there has only ever been one known death).

Moje książki - Thomas Mann, "Czarodziejska góra"
Książkę tę przeczytałem jakiś miesiąc po maturze. Był to dziwny czas. Coś się skończyło, a nic nowego jeszcze się nie zaczęło. A miało się zacząć. Byłem pełen złudzeń, że studia i wyprowadzka do dużego miasta (pokój wynajęty razem z kolegą z liceum) przyniosą wielką zmianę na lepsze. Życie miało zacząć się na dobre. Ostatecznie wszystko poszło nie tak, co może jeszcze kiedyś opiszę.
Co do samej książki, jej nastrój bardzo odpowiadał moim leniwym wakacjom. Wszak Hans Castorp, główny bohater, też kończył edukację (studia na Politechnice Gdańskiej, wówczas jeszcze niemieckiej) i odpoczywał przed następnym etapem życie. Jego odpoczynek w sanatorium mocno się przedłużył i potrwał aż do wcielenia do wojska podczas I wojny światowej. I w zasadzie cała książka opowiada o tych kilku latach. Pozornie nie działo się nic, a jednak to jedna z najlepszych książek, jakie miałem szczęście przeczytać.
