The Magic Mountain
By Thomas Mann Rs 958
In this absolute masterwork, Mann tells us the story and the education -intellectual, emotional and spiritual- of young Hans Castorp. Before embarking on an engineering career, Hans Castorp goes to visit his sick cousin at Sanatorium Berghof in Davos, Switzerland. He intends to stay for only seven days but, once he gets there, his health starts to fail. Against his wishes but for his own sake, the doctors admit him. That seven days turn into seven years. During this time, he develops the deepest relationships of his life, but eventually realizes that he has not lived at all.
Never boring -in spite of its seemingly dense themes and with a great sense of humor and of irony, this book can be read fastly and merrily, even though it is long. Character development is of the highest order, as well as the Alpine setting and the poetic quality of Mann’s prose.
