- Synopsis
- "Der Zauberberg" by Thomas Mann is a novel of the century, as monumental as it is entertaining: Hans Castorp, a budding shipbuilding engineer, finds himself in snow and ice when he intends to visit his sick cousin in a lung sanatorium for a few days. Then he stays for seven years. Like an X-ray machine, the novel illuminates its era.
