It is summertime in the Swiss Alps. Hans Castorp, an `ordinary young man`, has arrived at an exclusive sanitorium for a brief visit to his convalescent cousin. Once there, time will lose its familiar contours, as Hans himself falls ill and loses himself in a landscape of dreams, beauty and eternal snow.
The Magic Mountain is Thomas Mann`s masterwork: a Bildungsroman that is also an allegory of Europe before the devastations of the First World War and a profound meditation on time, art, sickness and death. John E. Woods` virtuoso translations of Thomas Mann`s novels are widely recognized as the best versions available in English.
