Musil Diaries

Preview:

Robert Musil is ranked alongside Marcel Proust and James Joyce for his monumental, unfinished novel, The Man Without Qualities. His Diaries, a distillation of fortythree years of material, are valuable in a number of ways as a firsthand historical document of life in twentiethcentury central Europe, as a kind of unwitting autobiography of a great novelist, and as a writers notebook that details the moods of artistic adventure.Readers will gain keen insights into Musils passage from scientist, to soldier, to novelist, in honest passages that reveal the man in all his humor, ambition, frustration, and transcendence.
