Best Answer

Yes. The definition of "quintessence" means the purest example or embodiment of something, quintessential being the adjective form of the word. Magic realism is "an aesthetic style or genre of fiction in which magical elements are blended into a realistic atmosphere in order to access a deeper understanding of reality," (Wikipedia, Magic realism). Therefore, the sentence implies that the novel is a perfect example of said writing style.

What is The Magic Mountain most noted for?

The Magic Mountain is an early-20th-century German novel that became extremely influential on thinking and later German literature. The novel was written either side of World War 1, the experience of which caused the author to revise the novel considerably. As a result there is a significant exploration in the novel of issues that are both contemporary (sexuality) and those with historic significance (the politics of class). These themes give the novel a lasting sense of relevancy.

How is magic and science related?

magic and science is related because lots of magic needs combinations of chemicals at times. Like for example if you put a string into water and salt mixture, and then tie the string around a ring and if you burn the ring it looks like the ring is floating in a way. (Note: we assume you mean magic in the "stage magic" sense. If you mean "actual real magic", they're related in the sense that science has pretty much proven that "actual real magic" is entirely bogus.)
