The Magic Mountain is a seminal novel of universal literature written by Thomas Mann. The story follows Hans Castorp, a young engineer who visits his cousin at a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps. What was expected to be a short visit becomes a long stay, where Hans reflects on life, death, and love. The novel offers a portrait of early 20th-century Europe and a deep reflection on the human condition. This Debolsillo edition features a translation by Isabel García Adanez and is part of the Contemporánea collection.
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.
