"One dreams not only from one's own soul [...] one dreams anonymously and together, even if in one's own way."
The exhibition "Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain. Fiebertraum und Höhenrausch" at the Buddenbrookhaus tells of the central themes and conflicts of the novel: death and life, desire and love, war and peace. The exhibition links these timeless themes closely with our present day through topical references. The novel, which is set on the eve of the First World War, still has parallels with our times a hundred years after its publication: Nationalism, a lack of scientific knowledge, ignorance and hate speech are relevant across all temporal breaks and epochal changes.
