What Is The Magic Mountain About?
The premise of The Magic Mountain without spoilers.
Hans Castorp, an engineering graduate, goes to the Berghof sanatorium in the Swiss Alps to visit his cousin Joachim, a tubercular officer. Planned as a three‑week trip, he is drawn into the morbid atmosphere, pretends to be a patient and stays seven years. He debates the humanist Settembrini against the Jesuit Naphta, falls for the enigmatic Clawdia Chauchat, and is discharged in 1914 as World War I begins.
