Items related to The Death of Virgil (Penguin Modern Classics)
Out of the last hours of Virgil's life and the final stirrings of his consciousness, Broch fashioned one of the great works of twentieth-century modernism, at once sensual and profound. Begun while Broch was imprisoned in a German concentration camp it is an intensely musical and immensely evocative mediation on the relationship between life and death, the duty of the artists, the ancient and the modern.
