Quote:
A city, a state, a social community organized around the division of labor was not merely comparable to organic life, it repeated it.

Quote:
As long as one spoke of living entities, and discussion of elemental units was dishonest, because the concept of an entity carried with it, ad infinitum, the concept of the subordinate, organizing unit. There was no such thing as elemental life - that is, something that was both already life and yet elemental.

He was delighted to see it, for he now realized that his relationship to the femur, and to organic nature in general, was threefold; lyric, medical, and technical.

He read with burning interest about life and its sacred, yet impure mystery.
The night of its pubic region built a mystic triangle with the steaming pungent darkness of the armpits, just as the red epithelial mouth did with the eyes, or the red buds of the breast with the vertically elongated navel.

No matter what the weather, winter was always in view, if only at a distance - remnants and traces of snow lay glistening in crevices and fissures of the craggy Rhatikon chain that seemed to block the entrance to the valley, and a constant snowy salute came from mountain majesties far to the south.
She had 'management' refund her the ten francs and add the sum to Frau Iltis's bill.

I enjoyed reading this section. Looking up all the technical words, and knowing how to pronounce them, on the anatomy and knowing the meaning was fascinating for me.You can sense Hans Castorp excitement and understanding how the human body, cells, and functions operate together to form a life and keep you living. He linked it to a 'social community organized around the division of labor'. Difficult reading- worth it.

Chapter 5 Part Research
Hans Castorp has sat on his balcony reading books on anatomy, physiology, sexual reproduction, the evolution of man, functions of the body, and caused himself to fantasize himself being held by a voluptuous woman in his sleep. He purchased these books to own them instead of borrowing them from Brehens. This has become his new obsession.
