Robert Musil

Musil.- O'Connor, Kathleen. Robert Musil and the Tradition of the German Novelle. Riverside, Ariadne Press, 1992.
"Studies in Austrian Literature, Culture, and Thought. Translation Series".- "This book explores Musil's Novellen to determine the significance of their roots in a generic tradition and to elucidate the ways in which they defined possibilities and marked limits of the genre. Musil's Novellen share the conventional narrative purpose of the tradition -- mediation of an unusual occurrence to a common understanding -- and its dominant characteristics -- tension between objectivity and subjectivity and the claim to convey 'truth.' Yet they participate in the modernist search for new modes of knowledge and expression." (Ariadne Press).- Eingeschweißt, neuwertig.
