Publisher comments
Acclaimed edition of one of our century's outstanding novels
Dazzlingly written, ferocious in its intelligence, The Man Without Qualities is one of the outstanding novels of the century, which presages our Age of Anxiety. Robert Musil was born in Austria in 1880. With the rise of Hitler in 1938 he emigrated to Switzerland, where he lived until his death in 1942. "The Man Without Qualities is one of the towering achievements of the European novel, and this edition is one of the most important publishing events of recent years" Observer; "Immensely rich and therapeutic, bristling with wit and a sly humour" Sunday Telegraph; "A great novel" Times Literary Supplement
