Magic Mountain

Thomas Mann
In this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Thomas 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.

It seems to be about life in a sanatorium - but in reality it is also about the passing of time. Reading this epic work does not happen overnight and it is especially exciting to revisit it in 2020.
