Thomas Mann – The Magic Mountain (Büyülü Dağ) – Can Yayınları 2011 Edition

Description:

This is the 2011 Turkish edition of The Magic Mountain (Büyülü Dağ) by Thomas Mann, published by Can Yayınları. One of the major works of 20th-century European literature, the novel is set in a Swiss sanatorium on the eve of the First World War and uses the isolated world of the mountain to examine the intellectual and social tensions of an entire era.

The story follows Hans Castorp, a young German engineer who initially travels to Switzerland intending to stay only three weeks to visit his cousin at the sanatorium. After being diagnosed as needing treatment himself, he remains there for seven years. During this extraordinary period, he encounters illness, death, love, philosophy and radically different views of society and civilization.

The novel is especially notable for its treatment of time, illness, mortality, love and the approaching collapse of pre-war European civilization. Mann's sophisticated and often ironic style turns the sanatorium into a miniature version of European society, making Büyülü Dağ a particularly important collectible for readers and collectors of classic European literature.
