Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A visit to a Swiss sanatorium leads to seven years spent outside ordinary time. As Seen on BBC Between the Covers Hans Castorp arrives at a tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps to visit his cousin, intending to stay for just three weeks. But illness, routine and the strange atmosphere of the mountain draw him in. Life at the Berghof is measured by meals, temperatures, rest cures and conversations. Around Hans gather doctors, patients and intellectual rivals whose ideas about progress, death, desire and civilisation begin to shape his own thinking. As his stay extends to seven transformative years, he falls in love and becomes absorbed by the mountains suspended world. But below the sanatorium, Europe is moving towards the First World War. The mountain air seems to clarify everything, then clouds it. Time stretches, arguments repeat, snow falls, bodies weaken, and Hanss stay becomes a slow apprenticeship in the habits, temptations and evasions of a civilisation nearing crisis.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Magic Mountain is simply one of the greatest novels ever written. - The Guardian With this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Thomas Mann rose to the front ranks of the great modern novelists, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929. The Magic Mountain takes place in an exclusive tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps - a community devoted to sickness that serves as a fictional microcosm for Europe in the days before the First World War. To this hermetic and otherworldly realm comes Hans Castorp, an ordinary young man who arrives for a short visit and ends up staying for seven years, during which he succumbs both to the lure of eros and to the intoxication of ideas.Mann was a master of this genre, in private life as in his fiction. - The London Review of BooksIn Mann's work the historic and contemporary retains its outsideness. He is a Wagnerian spellbinder, a mythmaker, but the myth always refers back to the real world. - The New York Review of BooksMann's sense of vulnerability modifies his temptation to abstraction; his awareness of the tawdry and shameful humanizes his concentration on the very act of art. He is saved by the perverse, by the knowledge that comes from having looked at the lost. For this his greatness, threatened by its own energy, still inspires awe and love. - The New York TimesThe Magic Mountain taught me that big ideas have vitality, that intellectual life could make for great storytelling, and that the map of an age could be found in the personalities of the people who lived it, lessons that I carried into the writing of history. But the truth is, I have returned again and again to The Magic Mountain because the characters who inhabit it are such delightful company. - The American Scholar The Magic Mountain] is one of those works that changed the shape and possibilities of European literature. It is a masterwork, unlike any other. It is also, if we learn to read it on its own terms, a delight, comic and profound, a new form of language, a new way of seeing. - A. S. ByattLong acclaimed as a masterly synthesis of the intellectual history of early 20th-century Europe and for its prescient scrutiny of elements in the German national character that had, and would again, find expression in the calamitous form of the world war. - KirkusMagnificent. a beautiful, feverish account of obsessive love - Jonathan CoeA monumental writer - Sunday TelegraphThe greatest German novelist of the 20th century - SpectatorMann is Germany's outstanding modern classic, a decadent representative of the tradition of Goethe and Schiller. With his famous irony, he was up there with Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Freud, holding together the modern world with a love of art and imagination to compensate for the emptiness left by social and religious collapse. - IndependentMann's real masterpiece is his sprawling snowbound epic of 1924, The Magic Mountain . The entire work is suffused with a sly and gentle humour, making it an absolute delight to read . A book I return to every couple of years, The Magic Mountain is simply one of the greatest novels ever written. - The Guardian.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. NOBEL PRIZE WINNER * A monumental work of erudition and irony, sexual tension and intellectual ferment, The Magic Mountain is an enduring classic. With this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Thomas Mann rose to the front ranks of the great modern novelists, winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. The Magic Mountain takes place in an exclusive tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps-a community devoted to sickness that serves as a fictional microcosm for Europe in the days before the First World War.
