Penguin Der Zauberberg

Thomas Mann's monumental work "Can one tell the time, this time itself, as such, in and of itself?" Hans Castorp plans only a short stay at a Swiss sanatorium to visit his cousin, who is suffering from tuberculosis. However, he soon begins to show symptoms himself and finds himself as a patient at the "Berghof" – a place that is both secluded and overflowing with encounters. Here, far above the everyday life of Europe, he engages in conversations about politics, philosophy, and art, meets fascinating characters, and falls under the spell of Madame Chauchat. In his grand novel of the times, Thomas Mann paints a vivid picture of a world on the brink of disaster. "Those who dive into the world of Thomas Mann will not find their way out so quickly." DIE ZEIT • Fever dream and high-altitude euphoria: Thomas Mann's most successful novel • "A highly relevant book." Jüdische Allgemeine • Now available in the world's most famous classic series.
