===''The Magic Mountain''===
Several literary and other works make reference to Mann's book ''[[The Magic Mountain]]'', including:
*[[Frederic Tuten]]'s 1993 novel ''Tintin in the New World'' features many characters (such as Clavdia Chauchat, Mynheer Peeperkorn and others) from ''The Magic Mountain'' interacting with [[Tintin (character)|Tintin]] in Peru.
*[[Andrew Crumey]]'s novel ''[[Mobius Dick]]'' (2004) imagines an alternative universe where an author named Behring has written novels resembling Mann's. These include a version of ''The Magic Mountain'' with [[Erwin Schrödinger]] in place of Castorp.
*[[Haruki Murakami]]'s novel ''[[Norwegian Wood (novel)|Norwegian Wood]]'' (1987), in which the main character is criticized for reading ''The Magic Mountain'' while visiting a friend in a sanatorium.
*The song "Magic Mountain" by the band [[Blonde Redhead]].
*The painting ''Magic Mountain (after Thomas Mann)'' by [[Christiaan Tonnis]] (1987). "The Magic Mountain" is also a chapter in Tonnis's 2006 book ''Krankheit als Symbol'' ("Illness as a Symbol").<ref>Tonnis, Christiaan (2006). ''Krankheit als Symbol: "Der Zauberberg"'', Westarp Buchshop, pp. 26–27. ISBN 978-3-939533-34-4.</ref>
*The 1941 film ''[[49th Parallel (film)|49th Parallel]]'', in which the character Philip Armstrong Scott unknowingly praises Mann's work to an escaped World War II Nazi [[U-boat]] commander, who later responds by burning Scott's copy of ''The Magic Mountain''.
*In [[Ken Kesey]]'s novel ''[[Sometimes a Great Notion]]'' (1964), character Indian Jenny purchases a Thomas Mann novel and tries to find out "just where was this mountain full of magic..." (p.&nbsp;578).
*[[Hayao Miyazaki]]'s 2013 film ''[[The Wind Rises]]'', in which an unnamed German man at a mountain resort invokes the novel as cover for furtively condemning the rapidly arming Hitler and Hirohito regimes. After he flees to escape the Japanese secret police, the protagonist, who fears his own mail is being read, refers to him as the novel's Mr. Castorp. The film is partly based on another Japanese novel, set like ''The Magic Mountain'' in a tuberculosis sanatorium.
*[[Father John Misty]]'s 2017 album ''[[Pure Comedy]]'' contains a song titled "So I'm Growing Old on Magic Mountain", in which a man, near death, reflects on the passing of time and the disappearance of his Dionysian youth in homage to the themes in Mann's novel.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://genius.com/Father-john-misty-so-im-growing-old-on-magic-mountain-lyrics | title=Father John Misty – So I'm Growing Old on Magic Mountain | access-date=29 December 2018 | archive-date=30 December 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181230080735/https://genius.com/Father-john-misty-so-im-growing-old-on-magic-mountain-lyrics | url-status=live }}</ref>
*[[Viktor Frankl]]'s book ''[[Man's Search for Meaning]]'' relates the "time-experience" of Holocaust prisoners to TB patients in ''The Magic Mountain'': "How paradoxical was our time-experience! In this connection we are reminded of Thomas Mann's ''The Magic Mountain'', which contains some very pointed psychological remarks. Mann studies the spiritual development of people who are in an analogous psychological position, i.e., tuberculosis patients in a sanatorium who also know no date for their release. They experience a similar existence—without a future and without a goal."
*The movie [[A Cure For Wellness]], directed by [[Gore Verbinski]], was inspired by and is somewhat a modernization, somewhat a parody, of ''The Magic Mountain''.<ref name=han>{{cite web|url=http://www.slashfilm.com/a-cure-for-wellness-gore-verbinski-interview/|title=Interview: Gore Verbinski on Returning to Horror With 'A Cure for Wellness'|date=21 December 2016|last=Han|first=Angie|access-date=2 March 2017|quote=Gore Verbinski: Well, there's this book by Thomas Mann called ''The Magic Mountain'' that we're both fans of, and that book deals with people in a sanitarium in the Alps, clutching on to their sickness like a badge before the outbreak of World War I.

*The album cover for [[Peter Schickele]]'s recording of [[P.D.Q. Bach]]'s "[[Bluegrass Cantata]]" shows an illustration of the 18th Century German bluegrass ensemble Tommy Mann and his Magic Mountain Boys.
*The 2022 novel [[The Empusium]] by [[Olga Tokarczuk]] reprises key plot elements from The Magic Mountain, including an alpine sanatorium for the treatment of tuberculosis, a time setting of 1913 which precedes World War I, a protagonist who is a young engineer and an isolated health resort as a [[Microcosm–macrocosm_analogy|microcosm]] of society.
