Abstract
The central theme in the chapter 'Humanoria' of the novel 'Der Zauberberg' by Thomas Mann is a discussion focusing on the skin, where the dialogue takes place on a number of different levels. The physiological facts are construed as double meanings for the erotic sensitivity of man and highlight the artful linguistic skills of the author, Thomas Mann. An intensive portrayal of different diseases and the notion of disease itself as a part of mankind are main elements of Mann's novel. In this essay, Thomas Mann's genius as a novelist is honoured against the background of poor modern literacy of the internet age.
