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.
