88077 | 0679772871 | 9780679772873 | The Magic Mountain | 706 | Vintage | 1996-01-01 | In this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Mann uses a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps, a community devoted exclusively to sickness, as a microcosm for Europe, which in the years before 1914 was already exhibiting the first symptoms of its own terminal irrationality. The Magic Mountain is a monumental work of erudition and irony, sexual tension and intellectual ferment, a book that pulses with life in the midst of death. | https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1403170928l/88077._SX98_.jpg |
