Summary "Der Zauberberg. Zweiter Band" by Thomas Mann is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows Hans Castorp, a young man who is sent to a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps for a seven-month cure for tuberculosis, where he becomes entangled in philosophical discussions and reflections on time, illness, and society. The narrative delves into themes of change, the nature of time, and the tensions between life and death. At the start of the sixth chapter, the protagonist Hans Castorp is caught in contemplations about the concept of time, questioning its essence and interrelation with movement and existence. His musings occur in the backdrop of the snowy Alps, where he and his fellow patients experience the stagnant time of their prolonged stays in the sanatorium. Hans converses with his cousin Joachim, who struggles with his own thoughts about returning to military service, while grappling with ominous premonitions of leaving the sanatorium for the unknown of the outside world. The chapter captures the blend of existential inquiry and the mundane realities of life in the sanatorium, emphasizing how the passage of time impacts the lives of those within.
