100 years after its publication, Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain is the focus of a public lecture series in Lübeck. In the anniversary year 2024, the city of the author's birth will take a contemporary look at the thematic diversity of the novel: in "Visits to the Present", the central questions of the relationship between life, illness and death will be explored and the various literary, contemporary, medical-historical and musical aspects of the novel will be addressed.
