Edition I
Complete in four volumes.
Hans Castorp travels to Switzerland to visit his cousin, who is being treated in a sanatorium located high in the mountains. The stay which was supposed to end after three weeks unexpectedly stretches to seven... YEARS! Only the outbreak of World War I interrupts the stay. The world on the "Mountain" is so significantly different from that on the "lowland". The constructive factor of the novel - time - passes without reflection or purpose.
Good state of preservation: period bookbinding, slight soiling.
