the june more thoughts now when the story inform migrate, reliable nice her migraines, wherever they may be. the a monumental novel is a 100 years old, but still has a lot to say about the present. substituting on how shall tails the disintegration into escape as a satirist goes too far, you have to investigate the calls about guns and then it must be more than a tire jokers has a host of eccentrics looking for their nation. been showing the protection i'm afraid of 3 ality out there and a pop icon from iran who lends her voice to the fight for freedom. the welcome to the arts unveiled the

the 1st to a highly topical novel about war hate speech. the rise of populism. a definitely pandemic in 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 mont christmas. i'm the full addresses, issues that still concern us today. issues we still discussed with great enthusiasm . oh, great hostility. i don't mind this novel come better explained to us problems. we're currently experiencing things of warriors today. people are also taking a closer look at the books we're which have always been can. 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 in 2 months, months hometown and flew back with stage production even a single not written by someone's mind himself obviously. but 1st, what sort of ours? okay. what's that the same? it's the swiss alps at a senatorial, that's a kind of health resort or clinic, where people think the fresh air will cure them of a long disease. and there was plenty of long disease at the time to most months, such as novel and $19.00 oh $7.00. when temperature, los us is 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 and cousin. how does the people we meet this character, hans 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 high. what's funny about the book is, even though his car stop is actually healthy, he 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 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 cons. billing was progress, science love plays a major role. this is very present. and so all the bad topics and so much mind creates to character patients at 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 light. then there's nafta. she wants to see society dominated by it, so it's how it's harry and rosie to solitary and resumes were starting to take

power in europe. at that time with the rise of communism, the fastest cause hence 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 catholics 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 one has cost or 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 span. big fan clubs cropped up in schools and universities. and there's no, 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 work. 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 the so the argument that you send us and got the a c, c must one group of people who didn't think the magic mountain was funny. it was the tourism board and taco switzerland. they thought the book may have the town look that they actually asked another big german writer of the time college tests, not to write a novel that paints of the town in a better way. thomas mon lab, quite a while born in 1875 at the beginning of the german empire, his diaries reveal, but he was bisexual at a time when that was not accepted. in 1929 he won the nobel prize for his novel put in books. 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. back. in 1912 katia mind had been diagnosed with tuberculosis and

thomas mon went to visit her at of salvatore, him and of a switzerland that became his inspiration. 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 5 to 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 mind. so when he started writing the book, he was very pro, more unsuccessful. in 1914 thomas mon 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,

which sites in 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 moved to switzerland pen to the united states. and later back to switch from us mon advocated for tolerance and human dignity until he died and 1955. when thomas mind wrote the magic mountain, she was thinking about his own process of political transformation. he puts a lot of the old hat, the pro war, him, that he distance himself from, into the character of nafta. lovely gentleman watson price is the most about thomas . mine is honest and sincere willingness and courage to change his mind. to put his views, the task again and again, and to write that new views on and to stand up for those new views until until the revises again. it's a play this particular some of the video. i think the,

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 heightened tensions, existential dread, and the feeling that society could go off the rails that look 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 well, just so much fun rights about total polarization, division, people who stopped listening cuz now i'm around actually cuz the tipping point today in this time of great areas ability,

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 months, these politics falling into populace. and what we now call hate speaks. and this information, this is the tensions and the dangers that are later going to lead to the fall of the weimar republic. germany's 1st attempt, real parliamentary democracy ended with the nazi here coming in, if you can follow it in vivid detail. he describes it with a tremendous aesthetic sense and tremendous psychological insight. this is dennis, 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. pursuits 1st, even today we see people turning the violence and they can't get their way with work. they don't get them. i think it's sadly current. we should keep that in mind and not in a good way. it's in a century

a 100 years and was still at the same place the host. okay. and then yes, the yes done was is couple. see what, at the end of the magic mountain to must, mon asks, out of this universe of feast 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 mount. 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 career guy and death in venice at strong homo. erotic under the magic mountain contains motif spit, 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 rough. this isn't the whole thing. comes custom falls in love with a woman, but i'm so shy. but she reminds him of a male classmates that he wants fans. the 1st the, the question of what the amount is, what a woman is, what's masculine, what's feminine, and what is perceived as attractive, erotically attractive? all of that is fluid here. 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 mind campaigned against paragraph 175, which criminalize homosexual relationships and act so as month own desire for 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. how much can sometimes we have to find out own way, just like the characters in the story. you can, i think that in times of the fake news and everything happening quickly, this idea or is 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, but you can always skip a hand. these lots of readers have told me which parts they skipped, but it does happen then. know some people may skip over parts of minds, masterpiece, but others give themselves permission to write part to that is quite simple, is that the tool must month conference. the magic mountain top to 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, it was clear to me from the get go that certain she will, the 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 that's the 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 factors. i'm slammed in the best sense of this 20 years ago with his level slices. 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 auction, who to terminate or to in order to underlined the identity of i'm, i'm scared the small minded to even more of 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 minds magic mountain on moving into the new book. and the cost of characters from the senatorial baton, in modified folded hands cast up is now starts up $1000000.00 that having us psychological crisis. all, you know, i get the cost on the original customer as last of the term while of the 1st world war. and my own as high to bring is also last hyperlink, you know, for, but i won't tell you how low views i used today to the colors. this is killed with antibiotics. so hind total cost is patients suffer from burnouts, the new mass disease, despite 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 the other one, which one? if you have the audacity to call the book the magic mountain to disclose this 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 functioning. the nice asking these 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 read his pennsylvania to the end. and now to an exhibition in munich that celebrates being different curtain up for eccentricity in disneyland. oh, must have caught on an unlocked list called in company. eccentric, alters and creations come together, that she dissolved unto cuz you come in and they delight and self stylization can show you protection. i'm afraid of reality out there. that's why i love masks, cost students disguise, as opposed with gestures. extensive sentences take interest defies all. conventions,

they get half of these kinds betsy, they have a need for ever more idiosyncrasy, yet i can send 100 percent drug personalities. don't want to exclude anything. i just thought 6, even though 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 goes to other 2 pieces that this sentence isn't manipulative. sentences that sacked tells you find your own way, and they're the ones that could isa, end up dealer, and passages happen and living work of all sorts of also events of world wide for over 30 years. then who is we going to cost all to use all our energy to change something so even 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? on the one hand, it's a form of cedar and staging. but at the same time, it's also real life. i type is all. this is the village we should be able to vote. 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, it's whole. but would rather be advancing back what that think it extent does it as soon as guides and do you think i centric personalities? do take certain risks when they go out in public. the c 5 are different when they stand out, feet and naturally attract attention to origin or even regression from others spot

. then one more thought off 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 and political time mentioned, 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. this is normal guys just um the eccentric can also be disturbing. like on the opening books going to college, each had an instrument of torture and pleasure. oh, her chloe,

my 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 to violated and turned into fetishes. the reactions of the audience were extreme dizziness painting. i know, i feel like you don't have to go into the hosting or, and it wouldn't. it's not just about provoking for the sake of provocation for it. so. so now what about doing something different on that side? and it's not something non normative. so it's a tool and eccentricity seems to stem from a deep in the need. the need to express an intrinsic low script mentioned issue is the people who feel safer in the world that they have to find for themselves. and then in the worlds that others have defined for them. if in the tab,

at the same time eccentric students need to follow as old as titles, it's enough recognition for them that we see there odessa, t and brilliance market that we don't know what makes the exhibition and the figures we see here. so attractive in solving they are who they are. people in l 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. and we'll just, it's a young 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 our 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 of 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 ring and music to go, 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 film for center. and the subject close to heart this is um, is the fact that i was able to make a film with

a person who spanish nation based on his childhood. and that i was able to know to need to tell her story. but the story of a people to that's obviously capital for me. i'm something that will always be with me on the biggest page on that in my mission. big nice father introduced her to the stage when she was just 2 years old. just to meet the lead from child start to international stuff, combining persian lyrics with papa john's. as on this walk like 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. but the goose has never given the meals

as a cultural icons forced to live in silence for more than 2 decades. since the 1979, there's dominic revolution that our homeland ever won them. when you get a split from a new i buy new book, toyota utility, which you own showing you done a supplemental katlyn k cut or hats in the sun hops special as doing that, but take care of them to the k, the google store. go ahead and magenta book cushion, but the get cut overnight but did shut down big on down the but it'd be states bush to 21 years. 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 decade this,
