Inhaltsangabe
Acknowledged as one of the landmark works of twentieth-century literary modernism. The Man Without Qualities is at once a prodigiously fecund novel of ideas and a pitch-perfect evocation of a lost world, the Austrian empire on the eve of the World War 1. 'The man without qualities' is Ulrich. Scientist, seducer and sceptic, he disdains the moral givens of the old Europe even as he yearns for something to replace them. In 1913, as Vienna's high society seethes with preparations for the Emperor's seventieth jublilee, Ulrich finds the thing he is looking for in the person of his sister Agathe, a woman as charming as she is amoral, as irresistable as she is appalling. Volume II of the Picador edition comprises the sections Into The Millennium and From The Posthumous Papers.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Robert Musil was born in Klagenfurt, Austria in 1880. Trained in science and philosophy, he left a career in the military to turn to writing. The publication of his novel Young Torless in 1906 brought him international recognition; to this day it remains a classic parable on the misuse of power. After serving in the First World War, Musil lived alternatively in Vienna and Berlin, with much of his time being dedicated to the slow writing of his masterwork, The Man Without Qualities. In 1938, when Hitler's rise to power threatened Musil's work with being banned in both Austria and Germany, he emigrated to Switzerland, where he and his wife lived until his death in 1942. The first complete German edition of The Man Without Qualities finally appeared in 1978.
