The Magic Mountain (Volume Two)
Thomas Mann
Lu par Steve Gough
Thomas Mann’s epic novel depicts a decaying, corrupted European society on the eve of the First World War. Set in a luxurious sanatorium high up in the Swiss mountains, we follow the destinies of a variety of exotic characters – members of a bourgeois elite drawn from all parts of Europe. Most suffer from consumption, dream of a cure - yet are at the same time squeezing as much pleasure and distraction as they can out of a situation ever-shadowed by sickness, pain, and death. Part surreal comedy, part grim tragedy, part allegory, and part novel of ideas, Mann’s novel is regarded by many as one of the key literary texts of the twentieth century. - Summary by Steve Gough (18 hr 36 min)

Excellent reader

The reader gave us a true gift with this rendition. The story is dense and not an easy job. But the different voices for each character, skilful pronunciation of foreign tongues and passionate reading made it easy to follow.

Very well spoken. Although every now and then some mispronounced words in foreign languages. Not disturbing to me. Enjoyed it greatly. Thank you.
