Description

The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann is set in the decade before World War I and introduces the protagonist, Hans Castorp, from a Hamburg merchant family. Mann's experiences at Dr. Friedrich Jessen's Waldsanatorium in Davos, Switzerland, where his wife resided for several months, inspired the opening chapter of this novel. The narrative explores themes of personal attitudes to life, health, illness, sexuality and mortality, as well as the sources of destructiveness displayed by civilised humanity. Mann radically revised and expanded the pre-war text before completing it in 1924, resulting in a two-volume publication by S. Fischer Verlag in Berlin. This novel is widely considered one of the most influential works of twentieth-century German literature, offering a thought-provoking exploration of European bourgeois society and its complexities.
