The Magic Mountain takes place in an exclusivetuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps – a community devoted to sickness that serves as afictional microcosm for Europe in the days before the First World War. To this hermetic andotherworldly realm comes Hans Castorp, an "ordinary young man" who arrives for a short visit andends up staying for seven years, during which he succumbs both to the lure of eros and to theintoxication of ideas.“Mann was a master of this genre, in private life as in his fiction.” – TheLondon Review of Books“In Mann’s work the historic and contemporary retains its outsideness.
