Description

A monumental work of erudition and irony, The Magic Mountain is a rich and complex novel of ideas that explores the human experience in a unique and thought-provoking way. Set in a fictional tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps, the story follows the journey of an "ordinary young man" who arrives for a short visit and ends up staying for seven years, succumbing to the lure of eros and the intoxication of ideas. Through its exploration of themes such as identity, morality, and the search for meaning, The Magic Mountain offers a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and cultural landscape of Europe in the years leading up to the First World War. With its unique blend of psychological insight, philosophical debate, and literary innovation, this novel has established itself as a major work of modern literature. Published in 1996, this rare leather and gold bound Franklin Edition is a beautiful and substantial volume that showcases the author's mastery of language and form.
