 "The Man Without Qualities" 《沒有個性的人》 By Robert Musil


Robert Musil was born in Klagenfurt, Austria-Hungary on this day in 1880.
"Believe me, what makes the human being truly free, and what takes away his freedom, what gives him true bliss and what destroys it, isn't subject to 'progress'--it is something every genuinely alive person knows perfectly well in his own heart, if he will just listen to it!"
--from "The Man Without Qualities" (1930–1942)





這本書是我們2006年4月5月讀書會選的。
近年來中國陸續翻譯Musil 的書。奧國國家花錢招待各國譯者。

Robert Musil was born in Klagenfurt, Austria-Hungary on this day in 1880.
"Believe me, what makes the human being truly free, and what takes away his freedom, what gives him true bliss and what destroys it, isn't subject to 'progress'--it is something every genuinely alive person knows perfectly well in his own heart, if he will just listen to it!"
--from "The Man Without Qualities" (1930–1942)
Set in Vienna on the eve of World War I, this great novel of ideas tells the story of Ulrich, ex-soldier and scientist, seducer and skeptic, who finds himself drafted into the grandiose plans for the 70th jubilee of the Emperor Franz Josef. This new translation--published in two elegant volumes--is the first to present Musil's complete text, including material that remained unpublished during his lifetime.
