The Magic Mountain, Der Zauberberg Part Two
by Thomas Mann
1927. Volume 2 of 2. Mann, German essayist, cultural critic, and novelist, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929. His novels are known to explore the relationship between the exceptional individual and his or her environment, the environment of family, or of the world in general. Among Mann's most famous works are Buddenbrooks and The Magic Mountain. In the Magic Mountain, Hans Castorp arrives at a sanitarium high in the Swiss Alps to find himself surrounded by exponents of widely differing political and philosophical attitudes. Amid sickness and decay he is forced to explore both the meaning of love and death and the relationship of one to the other. As he does so, the pattern that emerges from his discussions with his companions, and from his own musings, becomes a symbol of the forces below - forces that would culminate in the First World War and the destruction of pre-1914 civilization.

Thomas Mann was a German novelist, short story writer, social critic, philanthropist, essayist, and 1929 Nobel Prize laureate, known for his series of highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas, noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modernized German and Biblical stories, as well as the ideas of Goethe, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer. His older brother was the radical writer Heinrich Mann, and three of his six children, Erika Mann, Klaus Mann and Golo Mann, also became important German writers. When Hitler came to power in 1933, the anti-fascist Mann fled to Switzerland. When World War II broke out in 1939, he emigrated to the United States, from where he returned to Switzerland in 1952. Thomas Mann is one of the most known exponents of the so called Exilliteratur. ([Source][1]) [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Mann
