About this listen

In this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Mann uses a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps, a community devoted exclusively to sickness, as a microcosm for Europe, which in the years before 1914 was already exhibiting the first symptoms of its own terminal irrationality.

The Magic Mountain is a monumental work of erudition and irony, sexual tension and intellectual ferment, a book that pulses with life in the midst of death.

"The Magic Mountain is simply one of the greatest novels ever written. And an essential purchase for every sickbed this winter..." (Guardian)

The Magic Mountain

I found the story heavy going and the narrator increasingly irritating. It was disappointing after having enjoyed Buddenbrooks. I gave up about three quarters of the way through.
