死亡和疾病是贯穿托马斯·曼一生创作的主题,而疗养院则是这一主题的特殊舞台背景,作为疾病与健康、死亡与生命之间的混沌地带,它在曼式神话原型与宗教语言的转借处理下,处处打上了人间炼狱的烙印,成为世纪之交颓废派艺术的滋养土壤。 Death and disease are the themes throughout Thomas Mann’s life, and the sanatorium is a special stage setting on this theme as a chaotic zone between disease and health, death and life, and it is the site of the mythological archetype of Mann and the borrowing of religious languages Under treatment, everywhere imposing the imprint of human hell, became the nourishing soil of decadent art at the turn of the century.
