Magic Mountain is a tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps. Its inhabitants are forced to stay here for years, communicating with the outside world only with rare letters and telegrams. Here time flows imperceptibly, life and death lose meaning, and the smallest nuances of human relations, on the contrary, acquire painful sharpness and significance. Love, fun, friendship, enmity, jealousy for the inhabitants of the sanatorium as if marked by the shadow of nothingness.
This story has many possible readings – a powerful philosophical study of the basis of life, a subtle psychological analysis of different types of human character, relationships, immersion in the history of culture, religion and history in general – Mann depicted society on the eve of the First World War.
