Honestly, I love Mynheer Peeperkorn. He is one of Mann's best creations as a character--inarticulate force of personality

Death of Mynheer Peeperkorn. Stupor. Music. Seances. Home stretch.

Peeperkorn, toxicology vs pharmacology, great riff on poisons from quinine to cinchona to upas-rajah to strychnine

The masterful and heartbreaking death of Joachim Ziemssen, which closes out Chapter 6. One more to go!

Done with another interminable debate between Settembrini and Naphtha. These arguments are incomprehensible and give off big virgin energy tbh

Backstory of Naphtha, from Jew to Jesuit. Honestly audacious and compelling on Mann’s part.

Joachim departs! This is one of Mann’s better chapters, he really nails the divergence of Joachim and Hans. And not too much intellectual babbling either.

Long intellectual debate in Naphtha’s study. Kind of boring and abstruse but it does connect Christianty and communism. Young people awaiting agents of terror.

This book just goes on and on and on...magisterial Walpiurgis Night scene, though. And then the sudden flurry of departures
