1907: The 23-year-old shipbuilding engineer Hans Castorp visits his cousin during his cure in the Swiss mountains. He quickly immerses himself in the secluded world of the sanatorium - the planned three weeks turn into seven years. The actress, author and founder of the
Erzählbuchverlag Meike Rötzer tells Thomas Mann's almost 1000-page novel of the century in one evening - brilliantly abridged, situational and sensual. We also hear the music that runs through the "Magic Mountain" - from Mahler to Rossini to Schubert's "Lindenbaum" - interpreted live by Charlotte Balle on the violin. And so we follow Hans Castorp and Naphta, Settembrini and Madame Chauchat - until the thunderclap of the First World War tears the community of headstrong patients apart. World literature, magnificently told.
