Part satire, part visionary epic, part intellectual tour de force
A stunning collection of Musil's vivid and enticing stories, looking at love, desire and the heart of humanity.
One of the great short novels of the early twentieth century. It is a novel of youth; a novel of growing up; and it casts an unflinching look at the world.
A new translation of Robert Musil's first novel, a fresco of psychoanalysis, philosophy, eroticism, snobbery, sado-masochism and schoolboy humour, a hothouse of alternately repressed and unchained desires that prefigure the carnage of both World Wars.
