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 Proust's Remembrance of Things Past and Joyce's 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.

Review:
I would recommend Sophie Wilkins' translation as a conscientious attempt to give to the English reader a novel which is compared to The Remembrance of Things Past and Ulysses. (The Times)

There is scarcely a page that does not provoke new thoughts or offer new insights, not a chapter that, even read on its own, does not prove stimulating. (Scotsman)

At last, at last - the fully-fleshed arrival in English of the third member of the trinity in twentieth-century fiction, complementing Ulysses and The Remembrance of Things Past . . . This last-waltz novel is amazingly contemporary. (Wall Street Journal)

Immensely rich and therapeutic, bristling with wit and a sly humour. (Sunday Telegraph)
Book Description:
Part satire, part visionary epic, part intellectual tour de force
