La montaña magica

Nueva edición de lujo en tapa dura para conmemorar el centenario de la publicación original de la novela cumbre de Thomas Mann.>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A new deluxe hardcover edition to commemorate the one hundred years of the original publication of Thomas Mann's greatest novel. NOBEL PRIZE WINNER - A monumental work of erudition and irony, sexual tension and intellectual ferment, The Magic Mountain is an enduring classic. With this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Thomas Mann rose to the front ranks of the great modern novelists, winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. The Magic Mountain takes place in an exclusive tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps-a community devoted to sickness that serves as a fictional microcosm for Europe in the days before the First World War. To this hermetic and otherworldly realm comes Hans Castorp, an "ordinary young man" who arrives for a short visit and ends up staying for seven years, during which he succumbs both to the lure of eros and to the intoxication of ideas.
