Task: Text Categorization
Input (English): In a foreword, the author claimed that only thoroughness can be entertaining, and that is expressed in the novel itself, as it is presented in 7 parts, each representing a year that has taken place. Among other anecdotal occurrences, the protagonist clashes with and later comes to adore Mynheer Peeperkorn, and falls in love with a woman who reminds him of a boy he knew in school named Hippe, Clavdia Chauchat, all while participating in frequent debates between the optimistic Lodovico Settembrini and the pessimistic Leo Naphta. For ten points, name this novel in which Joachim Ziemssen receives a visit from his cousin Hans Castorp in a titular sanatorium, a 1924 work by Thomas Mann.
