In September 1913, a young Pole suffering from tuberculosis arrives at Wilhelm Opitz’s Guesthouse for Gentlemen, a health resort in the Silesian mountains.

Every evening the residents gather to drink the hallucinogenic local liqueur and debate the great issues of the day: monarchy or democracy? Are women born inferior? War or peace? A century after the publication of The Magic Mountain, Olga Tokarczuk revisits Thomas Mann territory and lays claim to it, blending horror, comedy and folklore with brilliant storytelling.
