VALUABLE: REVEALING: NEW First Edition hardcover (1999) First Printing: NEW mylar-protected strikingly-designed jacket w/ separate title-band & w/ sharp NEW edges & corners, IMMACULATE smooth-cut text-block exterior, NEW binding w/ tight signatures & black cloth banding at spine-caps, PRISTINE interior handsomely printed on EXCELLENT unblemished archival paper * 7.56" x 9.50" x 2.00", 1.32 kg, lx+562 (622) * ABOUT THE BOOK: Robert Musil is ranked alongside Marcel Proust & James Joyce for his monumental, unfinished novel, "The Man Without Qualities". His "Diaries", a distillation of 43 years of material, are valuable in a number of ways: as a first-hand historical document of life in 20th-century central Europe, as a kind of unwitting autobiography of a great novelist, & as a writer's notebook that details the moods of artistic adventure. Readers will gain keen insights into Musil's passage from scientist, to soldier, to novelist, in honest passages that reveal the man in all his humor, ambition, frustration, & transcendence. * HIGH PRAISE: "The account Musil gives in his "Diaries" of how the humiliations of Versailles led to the rise of Nazism has not been bettered." -NYRB "The unprecedented diversity & intellectual range of Musil's preoccupations are most nakedly evident in his "Diaries", & their American publication is an important cultural event for which every one involved w/ the project deserves our gratitude." -Los Angles Times * MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for an additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.…
