«La montaña mágica» is the novel by Thomas Mann, published in paperback (974 pages, in Spanish).
Young Hans Castorp arrives at a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps to visit his sick cousin. There he is immersed in a secluded world of patients and doctors where the novel turns illness, death and the passage of time into material for reflection, and makes that microcosm a mirror of European society before the First World War.
The novel was originally published in German as «Der Zauberberg» in 1924. This Spanish edition, translated by Mario Verdaguer, is part of the Ave Fénix collection.
A long, dense novel, intended for readers of European classics and works with philosophical weight.
Paul Thomas Mann was a German novelist, short story writer, social critic, philanthropist, essayist, and the 1929 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate. His highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas are noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modern versions of German and Biblical stories, as well as the ideas of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Arthur Schopenhauer.
