Dear Reader,
This week, we dive into Ludovico Settembrini, the great Italian humanist and man of letters to talk about the function of storytelling. We’ll start to unfold our central themes of love and death, sickness and health, as Hans Castorp finds himself in bed with a cold, slowly succumbing the hermetic magic of the mountain.
And I’m happy to share with you, my essay on The Magic Mountain, written for The American Scholar. Enjoy!
