This book touches upon so many subjects, it's incredible. If there ever was a roman of ideas.
But even if we ignore all the complex themes, there's still that slice of life aspect which is present throughout the whole book. I already can guess how much hurt the nostalgia for this book will give me in the future.

Is this a meme? I saw Schopenhauer mentioned in another Magic Mountain thread on /lit/ a few days ago.

If you're not a middle-aged German-speaking European with a masters degree apropos of Western philosophy, you do not understand this book.

Can you explain the book so we can understand?

It is a kind of meme. Schopenhauer is far more important for Buddenbrooks.

I am not German, but I am European, have Phd in philosophy and I feel I understand the novel. However I can't say the same about Doktor Faustus, it is way too complex.
