Fifth printing of the single volume edition first issued in 1944 (per publisher's statement upon copyright page). [3], x, 716, [6] pages. Hardcover: H 21.75cm x L 14.5cm. Dust jacket front panel retains vibrant color of the Fritz Kuttner illustration of the sanitarium among the snowbound Alps; shallow chips at spine ends and rear panel's bottom edge; some rubbing; front flap's top corner is price-clipped. Black cloth with vibrant gilt stamping to spine. Muted reddish-brown top edge; slight toning to fore-edge. Some toning and staining to endpapers with remnant toned tape strips which once secured an aged and now removed dj protector; ink ownership inscription on front free endpaper; throughout book are past owner's frequent notes, underlining, and margin marks mostly in pencil but unfortunately a few occurrences in ink. Binding is firm. Because of the extensive markings graded as a reading copy but with an eminently attractive very good+ dust jacket. Among the most significant works of twentieth-century German literature, THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN was first issued as a two volume set by Berlin publisher S. Fischer Verlag in 1924 with the first American edition published by Knopf in May 1927 following the same two volume format.
