«La montaña mágica» is Thomas Mann's philosophical novel, published by Edhasa in paperback (976 pages, in Spanish).
Hans Castorp, a young man from a well-to-do family, visits his cousin at a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps and ends up staying there for years. The novel combines that stay with reflections on time, illness, death and aesthetics, and with a portrait of the decline of the European bourgeoisie before the First World War.
The work was originally published in German as «Der Zauberberg» in 1924; this Spanish edition belongs to Edhasa's Pocket collection.
A work for readers interested in the philosophical novel and in twentieth-century German literary classics.
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.
