The Man Without Qualities - Musil, Robert

The Man Without Qualities by Musil, Robert

Format: Mass-Market Paperback

Published by Perigee Books, 1980

Ulrich's life in pre-World War I Vienna is influenced by his social and political connections and desire to be a man of importance. Ulrich possesses many talents but feels detached from them, choosing to live in a state of pure potentiality rather than committing to a fixed social character or moral code. Set in Vienna in 1913 on the eve of World War I, this colossal, unfinished satirical epic explores the existential drift, moral ambiguity, and intellectual decay of a crumbling Austro-Hungarian Empire
