A brief visit to a Swiss sanatorium becomes a life-altering seven-year odyssey. Hans Castorp arrives at a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps to visit his cousin, intending to stay for ju st three weeks. But when he falls ill, he remains and is drawn in by the introspection and erudition that define life in the mountains.
