The Man Without Qualities: Into the Millennium, from the Posthumous Papers The Man Without Qualitie

"Musil belongs in the company of Joyce, Proust, Kafka, and Svevo. . . . (This translation) is a literay and intellectual event of singular importance."—New Republic.

A major literary event--the long-awaited, new, and first-ever complete translation of the greatest masterpiece of 20th-century German literature. Dazzingly written, ferocious, and ironically intelligent, the novel is set on the eve of World War I, in Vienna, and chronicles the decay and collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and --with utter prescience--the birth of our Age of Anxiety.
