Hans Castorp is 'a perfectly ordinary, if engaging young man' when he goes to visit his cousin in an exclusive sanatorium in the Swiss Alps. What should have been a three week trip turns into a seven year stay. Hans falls in love and becomes intoxicated with the ideas he hears at the clinic - ideas which will strain and crack apart in a world on the verge of the First World War. 'Magnificent... a beautiful, feverish account of obsessive love' Jonathan Coe, Guardian 'The greatest German novelist of the 20th century' Spectator
