The Magic Mountain is a classic novel set in a Swiss sanatorium during the years leading up to World War I. The story follows Hans Castorp, a young engineer, who arrives for a short visit to his ailing cousin but ends up staying for seven years. The novel explores themes of time, illness, and the clash of ideas, with the sanatorium serving as a microcosm of European society on the brink of war.

Buddenbrooks is a sweeping family saga that chronicles the rise and fall of the Buddenbrook family, a prosperous German merchant dynasty, over four generations. Set in the 19th century, the novel explores the decline of traditional values in the face of modernity, as the family grapples with changing social and economic landscapes. Each generation faces challenges that erode their wealth, status, and cohesion.
Royal Highness is a satirical novel that follows the life of Prince Klaus Heinrich, a minor German royal in a fictional, declining principality. The story begins with Klaus Heinrich living a sheltered, ceremonial life bound by rigid traditions. His existence is transformed when he meets Imma Spoelmann, a wealthy American heiress whose independent spirit challenges the old-world conventions surrounding him. Through their relationship, Mann explores themes of social change, the clash between old aristocratic values and modern capitalism, and the possibility of personal transformation. The novel combines humor with a deeper critique of European society in the early 20th century.
