1st to a highly topical novel about war paint, speech shorter device of populism. a deadly pandemic and society. on the edge of a press, it sounds like we're talking about today, right? actually it's all in a novel published a 100 years ago. the magic mountain by thomas marshall's, i'm just on awful addresses issues that still concern us today. issues we still discussed with great enthusiasm. oh, great hostility. once in the home on this novel come better explained to us problems, we're currently experiencing things that warriors can today. people are also taking a closer look at the books. we're eleanor, which i've always been using. okay, so i think it's a fascination read and the novels it has many interpretations. it has many layers in many things. it's also a 1000 pages long. it's a literal literary, heavy weight. so what makes it worth the reading or even a 2nd rate?

the magic mountains, 100 year anniversary is being marked with an exhibition into last month hometown and flew back with stage production even a sequel, not written by someone's mine himself, obviously. but 1st, what's it about? okay, what's that the same? it's the swiss alps at a sanatorium that's a kind of health resort or clinic where people think the fresh air will cure them of long disease. and there was plenty of long disease at the time, 2 months, months such as novel and $19.00 oh, $7.00 winter burke hello says still a leading cause of death in here. and the best treatment people can get if they can afford it, is breathing good air and just waiting around to get better. and they can wait a long time, answer if the story is young here, some us months, main character who goes to visit his sick cousins. how does the people we meet this character, hands cast or 9 who travels into this world and ends up staying for 7 years and is confronted with all the ideological political and philosophical debates of the time

that's life. what's funny about the book is, even though has cost op as actually healthy, she really gets into the santa torrie, the people, their philosophical debates, and just the culture of being a patient there. a strict health for teens luxurious meals obsessive temperature and taking the ends up and living like one of them, the ones on the end thoughts. and then in an isolated hermetically sealed place, the questions of humanity are played out on all possible levels. even the con, building was progress, science love plays a major role, deaf is very present. and so all the big topics. and so most mind creates 2 character patients of the clinic who really are polar opposites and their philosophies, sets and brittany on the one hand, p stands for progress and individual freedom for in the late fenders nafta. she wants to see society dominated by and so tell a terry and rosie,

it's out there and resumes, we're starting to take power in europe at that time with the rise of communism. this task has come, funds cast off is caught between these 2 that the whole novel revolt around the decision which site to take. but at least both these characters become a 100 concepts, mentors and he's really torn between the 2 philosophies. eventually search most of debates turn violence to rival space, often a deal and that's just the beginning of the violence. the book ends in 1914 with the start of world war 100 costs are disappearing. and so the chaos of battle. when the magic mountain came out, it quickly became an international best seller, translated into many different languages. and over the decades influential people have claimed it as their favorite book, like american critics, susan sontag, who said she'd read it 7 or 8 times in spain. big fan clubs cropped up at schools and universities. you're listening. you don't have to have 3 talk trips in nature to understand homeless mine, because there's

a lot of iron in human in his works no more. it's about very serious things. but the book itself is an enjoyable experience and there was some really hilarious things from you. and so in the event that you sent us and got c a, c, c must one group of people who didn't think the magic mountain was funny. it was the tourism board and thought, oh switzerland. they thought the books may have the town looked bad. they actually asked another big german writer of the time college tests, not to write a novel, but pains of the town in a better way to almost month live quite a while born in 1875 at the beginning of the german empire. his diaries reveal that he was bisexual at a time when that was not accepted of 1929, he won the nobel prize for his novel vote in volks. later the fled nazi germany with his wife, katya. a jewish convert to christianity. and there are 6 kids. so let's take a step back in 1912,

katia of mine had been diagnosed with tuberculosis. and thomas mind went to visit her at a sanitarium and of a switzerland. that became, has an inspiration sent to finish with mon. it's all coincidence and so we imagined he must have sat there for years, thinking about how to do it. but it's all quite incidents. so 52 originally wanted to write the magic mountain as a short story on and it turned into a 1000 page novel inside. and it took him 12 years to write it. he was interrupted by world war one, but also he was going through a shift in his own mindset. when he started writing the book, he was very pro, more unsuccessful. in 1914 thomas mazda allowed himself to be carried away by the and suzy as him for war. that was driving many intellectuals officers, writers and artists of the time. so he was in the front line of advocating for it. and in 1918 when germany was defeated, it was a lost cause and he went to a very isolated amazon who must monthly hold, those mountains switch sides,

and the 1920s. he became one of the most eloquent defenders of the republic and by the 1930s during his exile and the united states. a true believe it and democracy it will come. when the nazis came to power in 1933, thomas my left germany with his family. he moved to switzerland pen to the united states. and later, back to switch to most mon advocated for tolerance and human dignity until he died in 1955. when thomas mind wrote the magic mountain a, she was thinking about his own process of political transformation. he puts a lot of the old him, the pro war, him, that he distance himself from, into the character of nafta. lovely gentleman watson price is me most about thomas . mine is honest and sincere willingness. i'm courage to change his mind to put his views, the task again and again, and to arrive at new views on and to stand up for those new views until until he revises them again. i think of this, some of whom do i think the of them,

the magic mountain reflects exactly that in this up when the magic mountain came out in 1924 european society was really on edge. there's a feeling like today actually the restlessness of heightens tensions. existential dread and the feeling that society could go off the rails. best of luck and at least what was in the air, he writes in the novel, you can sense of tremendous on ease of fear of the future. and suddenly there's the situation at the end of the novel, where things are unraveling, uncertain as to where they start shooting each other, where they're cursing at the steps where the craziest ideas of merch off and people are literally losing their minds. boston as walters. someone's mind writes about total polarization division. people who stopped listening because now i'm around that she could not tipping point today in this time of great eligibility. all you

have to do is turn on any evening talk show and you'll see that people are interrupting each other, not listening. look, just yelling else opinions that go to holland minus these politics falling into populace. and what we now call hate speak to this information. this is the tensions and the dangers that are later going. so each of the fall of the weimar republic, germany's 1st attempt, real parliamentary democracy ended with the nazi here is coming in, if you can follow it in vivid detail. he describes it with a tremendous aesthetic sense in tremendous psychological insight, create some atmosphere where at the end you just wonder who will shoot 1st, 1st in the jewel, and then at the very end, the war in which the whole thing culminates. the pursuits 1st. even today we see people turning the violence and they can't get their way with work. they'll get them. i think it sadly current. we should keep that in mind and not in a good way. it's been a century

a 100 years and was still at the same place. people will stuff and then yes, the yes double. it's double see what? at the end of the magic mountain to him, us mon asks, out of this universe of feast, of depths, out of this extremity of fever, tingling the rain washed evening sky to a fiery glow. may it be that love one day so mountain. we should be ashamed of humanity that we still haven't done so it looks great final question after this universal feast of death. may it be that love one day shall mount this question about the horrible 20th century for 21st century starting the exact same way with the next universal feast of death and do crating them. the middle east with the models of mine was also ahead of his time when it came to sexuality earlier. novella is 20, a clear guy and death in venice at strong homo. erotic under the magic mountain contains motif split are obviously clear, beneficial. i think it's one of the books greatest strengths that it breaks every

cliche, especially when it comes to questions of how to talk about the body sexuality under offices. i'm sick so they keep the horton custom falls in love with a woman, but i'm so shy. but she reminds him of a male classmates that he wants. fans defies the, the question of what the amount is, which a woman is what's masculine, what's feminine, and what is perceived as attractive, erotically attractive? all of that is fluid here. and gender fluidity was not mainstream. thomas monster and homosexuality was totally tab boot for most of society. just it was a criminal offense. in the 19 twenty's thomas man campaigned against paragraph 175, which criminalize homosexual relationships. and i understand so as month own desire for a man was something she lived out in secret to the outside world. she was an upstanding, heterosexual citizen, with a wife and 6 kids. love, hates politics and passion. they're all here in the magic mount. someone's mind

leaves it up to you though, how you want to interpret that. and i'm just can sometimes we have to find out own way just like the characters in the story. it can. i think that in times of the fake news and everything happening quickly, this idea of having to read with critical lies and do that for ourselves and stay awake. that is the most current seeing the numbers and that's what i liked the best . ok, so i sort of myself, do i a social okay. much middle style and in case the idea of reading a 1000 pages seems overwhelming enough. you can always skip a hand. these lots of readers have told me which parts they skipped, but i thought tom and then i'll some people may skip over parts of months, master piece, but others give themselves permission to write part to the those quite sure falls at the tool maximum conference. the magic mountain top 2 is about to be published. the also is not until last month, writer and such high risk times told is the bold pretend the audience is skeptical,

because how me from canada. so it was clear to me from the get go that certain she will as circles would suspect, i was failing, the german nest stayed on the best of creating a literary relic by simply hanging to on it. and then he does to junk. the hen dying of this is a kind of strong cause no stranger to provocation. in the 1990s, a studio brown, he's thoughtful people with telephone pranks, fold them with a documentary about his found fractals and landed in the best settle this 20 years ago with his novel flashes mind me as nice as my vegetables. and now the magic mountain to get up in front of i knew you had the idea from the outset that the title and the cover would be in the type face of the arnold schwartzenegger action, who to terminate or to in order to underline the identity of i'm, i'm scared the small minded to even more from the long if i should pick up your own entrance and is it all just provocation,

or does it reflect some of the magnificence of the original 156 original passages from thomas mind's magic mountain on moving into the new book and the cost of characters from the senatorial baton, in modified folded, hands cast off, his nose starts up 1000000 that having no psychological crisis, all united custom, the original custom was lost in the turmoil of the 1st world war. and my own is tied to brink is also last hyperlink, you know, for, but i won't tell you how, how views i used today to the colors. this is killed with antibiotics. so hind total cost is the patient's suffer from burnouts. the new mass disease display, the willingness to prevent a hunched hold is aware of his responsibility as 12 most months successful. when he gets hot starting headed, we're on the risk of getting myself into trouble. then i'd rather not then heavy. okay, that will keaton. before i make a fool of myself now they had each month and that was one which one? if you have the audacity to call the book the magic mountain to and then it has to

be more than just accommodating the tar joe task. so them, some of the funding you have to do with justice launch. one thing that i forgot about his work doesn't do justice to the length of the original. the magic mountain to has a may of 280 pages such strong hopes that this will help his regents persevere to the end. and now to an exhibition in munich that celebrates being different curtain up for eccentricity. disneyland. oh must have caught on the little cotton colony. eccentric office creations come together, that she dissolved unto cuz zuckerman and they delight and self stylization control protection. i'm afraid of reality out there. that's why i love masks, cost students disguise,

as opposed with gestures. extensive sentences defies all conventions. uh they get half of his cards betsy, they have a need for ever more idiosyncrasy. yeah, i can send for the 100 percent drug personalities. don't want to exclude anything. i just thought if you haven't, i create a world where everyone is. welcome. yes, to all the different, bold, unconventional dies this. yes to all, that's a yes to all. that's preventative. open the borders. anything ghost either to these is that this is sentence, isn't manipulative. sentences that tells you find your own way. and they're the ones that create east the end of july and passages. pablo type in the living work of all. so to was defensive worldwide for the 30 years, then let's be going to cost all the used solar energy to change something to show each of the smiles we put on her face has changed something. so, and it's us

a life spent. and nicola, opposite design is a female. it's an invention as an art figure with our work of art is, can we really take risks in everyday life? i think on the one hand, it's a form of cedar and staging. but at the same time, it's also real life type is all. this is the village pollution, leaving the world eccentricity comes from the creek, x country to step out of the center. we distance ourselves from what we think of as normal because of its limits. because the polar band might not be a predator as whole, but would rather be advancing back what that think it extent does it as soon as guides and getting i think i centric personalities, do take certain risks when they go out in public the sci fi, in a different one, they stand out, feet and w naturally attract attention to origin or even regression from others spot. then

one more thought of the i can someone from the end of an eccentric aesthetics of freedom, the title of the exhibition in unique? well, some of the schools, a political dimension, people like sophia, zeus makes you courageously and even passionate lisa, but social conventions all in a way immune to censorship. especially in my lifetime, for example, my gold tooth is also a political act for me because 1st lead, suddenly i was interested in what happens when i make myself ugly on purpose. what does that do to me? what does it do to my life, to the people around me? if i directly and quite clearly refused to even look at myself with your patriarchal glasses, with your beauty still, and it's just, it's a personal statement that i don't even recognize your normal as normal damage as i'm the eccentric can also be disturbing. like on the ordering books going to call a teacher, an instrument of torture and pleasure. oh, chloe,

not seeming be pulling the graphic and yet strangely loving. this the offer of santa, instead of the gods, scandalously eccentric, and current hail bodies are exposed, violated, and turned into fetishes. the reactions of the audience were extreme dizziness, fainting. i'm in no rush at the. i feel like you don't have to go into the hosting or, or doug. it's not just about provoking for the sake of provocation, thoughts from so not but about doing something different. and that's us. and it's not something, no normative. so it's a tool and eccentricity seems to stem from a deep in the need. the need to express an intrinsic low get mentioned a few in the people who feel safer in the world that they have to find for themselves. and then in the world, is that the authors of the find for them. if you need a tab at the same time and eccentric students need to follow the oldest titles,

it's enough recognition for them that we see their odessa t and brilliance market that we don't know what makes the exhibition. and the suitors, we see here so attractive souls. they are who they are. people who know county, they don't want to be any different, but the motor is search who they are with us. and that gives us courage. and we want to support that with this exhibition. he's always doing well with the sits and no man and encourage people to become a little more colorful to, to band maybe just the just the which are held onto iran where single goose was silenced by the state before we all say sure, everybody knew where the mega, mega homestar,

not just in her home country ever run in the 19 seventy's produce, was touring all over the world. now she's saying, combine that documentary, good goose made a fire. a company is the 74 year old at one of our last concerts in frankfort and tells her story, record over time. so what you listen to whether it be western music or the ring and music because she was always the i think like many of those i felt very close to the decision maker at the premier. this discharge center produce is their 2nd major philip person in the subject close to heart. this is the fact that i was able to make a film with

a person whose father as an agent based on his childhood. and that i was able to know to need to tell her story, but the story of a people she stood. that's obviously capital for me. i'm something that will always be with me. one second speech on that in my mission big night. because father introduced her to the stage when she was just 2 years old, who made the lead from child start to international stuff, combining persian lyrics with papa john's last muscle spasm. this won't make stick to special. on the one hand, of course it's hot not acting her singing her music of her incredible presence on stage. and on the other hand, i think it's her incredible biography, the biography she says with many autism and around that people try to come down to somebody is to silence how to break hash, but the goose has never given the had. i know it's

a cultural icon for us to live in silence for more than 2 decades. since the 1979, there's dominic revolution in our homeland. other one is performing new. i buy new books, toyota utility, which you and showing you done a supplemental cab cut or hats in the sun hops special as doing that, but take care of them to the k. a google store have them as in a book cushion. but the get cut overnight, but the deed showed them big on down the but it'd be stakes bush to 21 years of asterisk, in 2000, she was granted permission to leave for north america. she came for the 1st concert in front of 15000 people in toronto. she has not returned home since the judge didn't get this. i think she also embodied the

longing for freedom held by many arabians the current situation. the political situation in iran has been a hostage situation for 46 years, i'd say close insights in the life and shelters of a fire tardies a day came to germany with our family at the age of 17, a studies theater in film directing. today. she runs a production company in heidelberg, but never let go for homeland. in 2006, she went to around as a filmmaker and producer until the political situation became increasingly tense. so can i press college was destroyed and thrown in my face the spanish that's and that wasn't true. i had a lot of trouble that i was also arrested. and then when the pressure on me in the room became too much, i resigned and decided to come back to here on its way back to most i actually wanted to do a feature length films long. so i want to take a piece of voice,
