Groza w "Czarodziejskiej górze" Tomasza Manna
Terror in Thomas Mann’s "The Magic Mountain"

Summary/Abstract: Area of my research in this article was seeking for elements of terror in text, recognized as one of the most important novels of the XX century. Material of my work was The Magic Mountain, written by Thomas Mann, and my assignment was to read it in terms of literary horror – as a result, changing a social-philosophical novel into a weird fiction, consciously and deliberately diverging from conventional and well-worn ways of interpretation – all of this to show that everything depends on interpreters point of view (and his intensions) and on the book itself (and its potential, which – in case of The Magic Mountain – seems to be endless).By my article, I wanted to point that searching for new ways of reading and decrypting texts could be not only the form of literary entertainment, but also some kind of rescue for compositions, interpreted in so well-known ways.
