Pencils, Doors, Thermometers
The Magic Mountain Week #2
Dear Reader,
Welcome to week #2 of The Magic Mountain!
If you missed week #1, you can catch-up here.
This week we are going to be talking about some of the recurring symbols in Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain: pencils, doors, thermometers, and Ocean Steamships, to name a few.

Pages: 40-160.
