Resumen
This long-awaited new translation, the first in English to provide a complete text, brings to its readers one of the greatest masterpieces in all twentieth-century literature in a two-volume boxed set. The Man Without Qualities stands alongside Prousts Remembrance of Things Past and Joyces Ulysses as one of the three literary masterworks of modernism. Dazzlingly written, ferocious, suffused with a high ironic intelligence, it uses Viennese high society on the eve of World War I to chronicle the decay and collapse of the entire Old World and, with utter prescience, to explore all that would follow in our Age of Anxiety. Part satire, part visionary epic, part intellectual tour de force, The Man Without Qualities is a work of immeasurable importance.<
