The Magic Mountain

The Magic MountainÂ is the story of an unassuming, undistinguished young engineer named Hans Castorp who sits on the balcony of a sanatorium, wrapped in his blanket, thermometer in his mouth, naively but earnestly pondering the meaning of life, time, and his love for the beautiful Frau Chauchat.Â Â Among the other characters on this Germanic ship of fools are Hofrat Behrens, the head doctor, and his hearty but sick-looking sidekick, Dr. Krokowski and an entourage of interesting patients.Â Mann began working onÂ The Magic MountainÂ following a few weeks' visit to a sanatorium in Switzerland.Â Â It is a massive meditation on "the inner significance of an epoch, the pre-war period of European history."Â Â It was an immense international success from the time of its publication.
