Meer over het boek

Exploring the complexities of modernity and human experience, the narrative follows Ulrich, an ex-soldier and scientist, as he navigates the political and social landscape of Vienna just before World War I. Drafted into the grand celebrations for Emperor Franz Josef's jubilee, Ulrich grapples with his identity as a seducer and skeptic. This new translation offers a comprehensive view of Musil's work, including previously unpublished material, enhancing the reader's understanding of the era's intellectual climate.
