Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the symbolism and synaesthetic metaphors in Thomas Mann’s Buddenbrooks and The Magic Mountain as certain symbols and metaphors are highly illustrative for Mann’s work because of their complexity and depth. They are essential for Mann’s narrative construction and are recurrent in several texts (such as disease metaphor or symbols of death, the sea, the South versus North, but also the snow), becoming the author’s trademark.
