Thomas Mann an George W. Gray

Gibt sein Einverständnis zum Abdruck einer kurzen Stelle aus dem ›Zauberberg‹ am Schluss von G.s Buch [Zitat aus der englischen Übersetzung: »For all interest in disease and death is only another expression of interest in life, as is proven by the humanistic faculty of medicine, that addresses life and its ails always so politely in Latin, and is only a division of the great and pressing concern which, in all sympathy, I now name by its name: the human being, the delicate child of life, man.«]
