The Magic Mountain

byThomas Mann

Who is this book for? Readers interested in philosophical literature and historical fiction.

Topics PhilosophyCivilizationComing of Age
MoodReflective, Melancholic
RomanceMajor Subplot
Explicit scenesSuggestive Themes
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.
