Hermann Broch (18861951) was an Austrian modernist writer and intellectual known for his philosophical depth and innovative narrative techniques. His most famous work is The Sleepwalkers (19311932), a trilogy exploring the collapse of values in European society from the late 19th century to World War I. He also wrote The Death of Virgil (1945), a poetic and philosophical novel about the final hours of the Roman poet Virgil. Broch was part of a rich intellectual network and maintained notable acquaintances with figures like James Joyce, whose experimental style influenced his work, Thomas Mann, a fellow modernist and admirer of Broch's writing, and Albert Einstein, with whom he shared philosophical and scientific interests. After fleeing Austria following the Nazi annexation in 1938, he eventually settled in the United States, where he continued writing and contributing to intellectual life. ABOUT THIS BOOK: The Sleepwalkers (Die Schlafwandler, 19311932) is a trilogy by Hermann Broch that examines the moral and social disintegration of European society from 1888 to 1918. Each of the three novelsThe Romantic (1888), The Anarchist (1903), and The Realist (1918)focuses on a specific period, protagonist, and philosophical perspective. The trilogy explores the decline of traditional values and the rise of individualism, culminating in a fragmented and chaotic modern world. Broch combines narrative with philosophical reflection, using innovative techniques like shifting perspectives and interspersed essays to delve into themes of morality, identity, and the crisis of modernity. The work is considered a cornerstone of modernist literature.
