«La muntanya màgica» is the bildungsroman by Thomas Mann, published by labutxaca in paperback (972 pages, in Catalan).
Engineer Hans Castorp travels to the Alps to visit a cousin admitted to a tuberculosis sanatorium; what was meant to be three weeks turns into an unpredictable stay. In the sanatorium atmosphere, Mann describes Castorp's emotional and intellectual transformation and constructs a novel of ideas that condenses the knowledge of his time.
The Catalan translation is by Carme Gala Fernández. La muntanya màgica was originally published in German. Thomas Mann won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929.
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.
