Abstract
The article intends to suggest and give the conceptual basis to a double enlightment between the novel The Magic Mountain, by Thomas Mann, and the philosophical treaty Being and Time, by Martin Heidegger, concerning the conception of time. It is intended to show, trough the analysis of the structure of the first part of Mann’s novel, that in it the concept of existence is also “temporalized”. The way to give consistence to such hypothesis implies three steps: (1) elucidate, briefly, Heidegger’s conception of temporality; (2) analyze the structure and elements of the first part of Mann’s novel, in continuous reference to the strength of the prologue; (3) suggest approximations between the form of the first part of The Magic Mountain (and its narrative conquests), to the notions taken from Being and Time.
