Reviews"All the characters in Thomas Mann's masterpiece come considerably closer to speaking English in John E. Woods's version . . . Woods captures perfectly the irony and humor." New York Times Book Review "[Woods's translation] succeeds in capturing the beautiful cadence of [Mann's] ironically elegant prose." Washington Post Book World "[The Magic Mountain] is one of those works that changed the shape and possibilities of European literature. It is a masterwork, unlike any other. It is also, if we learn to read it on its own terms, a delight, comic and profound, a new form of language, a new way of seeing." from the new Introduction by A. S. Byatt
