Mann, Thomas

Magic Mountain The Magic Mountain Thomas Mann ; translated from the German by H.T. Lowe-Porter ; illustrated by Joseph Ciardiello. - Franklin Center Franklin Library 1979 - 728 pages illustrations 24 cm.

Translation of Der Zauberberg.

In this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Mann uses a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps, a community devoted exclusively to sickness, as a microcosm for Europe, which in the years before 1914 was already exhibiting the first symptoms of its own terminal irrationality. The Magic Mountain is a monumental work of erudition and irony, sexual tension and intellectual ferment, a book that pulses with life in the midst of death.
