How do you stay human in times of polarisation? Thomas Mann explored this a century ago, in his book 'The Magic Mountain'. The book is an undisputed highlight of his oeuvre and vividly depicts how the German spiritual elite, on the eve of the First World War, fled into the hazy world of culture.&nbsp;Framed with impressive music on cello and piano, writer / poet Ben Verschuren discusses this special novel. Verschuren has given multiple courses on 'The Magic Mountain', a book of nearly 1000 pages. You don't have to have read the book to enjoy this literary experience.&nbsp;Literature &amp; Music is a collaboration between Breda Library and Muzieksalon Spronk.&nbsp;With the cooperation of:<ul><li>Astrid Schijns (cello)&nbsp;</li><li>Jetje van Wijk (piano)&nbsp;</li><li>Storyteller: Ben Verschuren.&nbsp;</li></ul>Reserve via the button below or call: &nbsp;076-5203 780 / 06 40 96 86 46 Walk-in: half an hour before the start<a href="puuid#6b76bc8d-5955-425b-9746-70875e2a2e22">You can also attend this performance on 3 December from 20:15 to 21:45 at Het Gele Huis in Princenhage.</a>
