Synopsis

The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann is a sweeping classic of European literature that explores time, illness, love, politics, and the search for meaning. 
 
Hans Castorp, a young German engineer, travels to a remote sanatorium in the Swiss Alps to visit his cousin. What begins as a short stay gradually becomes something far more complicated, as Hans is drawn into the strange and secluded world of the patients who live there. 
 
Surrounded by illness, intellectual debates, romantic intrigue, and competing ideas about life and society, Hans begins to see the world and his own place within it—in an entirely new way. As days turn into months and years, his experience on the mountain becomes a journey of personal and philosophical discovery. First published in 1924, The Magic Mountain is an ambitious and thought-provoking novel that examines the tensions of a changing Europe while offering a deeply human meditation on life, mortality, and the passage of time.
