The Demons. Part Three
Seller: Bookbot, Prague, Czech Republic
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Fair. Spuren von Feuchtigkeit / Nässe; Leichte Risse. Heimito von Doderer was one of the twentieth century's most distinguished Austrian novelists. His finest novel is The Demons, a monumental work and itself the 'Götterdämmerung' as it were to earlier novels. The central preoccupation of this masterpiece is the decline of European civilization. He began work on it in 1931, after reading Dostoyevsky's The Devils. Symphonic in construction, it is a panoramic re-creation of Viennese society in all its strata, conjuring the depths as well as the heights of everything we might think of as Vienna. Doderer has Balzacian scope as well as owing much to Proust and Musil. His human comedy is drawn with a humour as vital when ironic as when satirical, and his baroque imagination is well served by his tireless linguistic ingenuity.

Paperback. Condition: As New. The Demons ? Part Three (1989) by Heimito von Doderer (Quartet Encounters) Sold by Crappy Old Books ? because someone has to deal with the literary heavyweights. Welcome to The Demons ? Part Three , where the sprawling, cerebral madness of mid-century Vienna continues under the steady pen of Heimito von Doderer. If you made it through Parts One and Two (or just want to pretend you did), here?s your chance to finish?or deepen?your descent into a richly layered web of aristocrats, radicals, mystics, and more damaged psyches than a Freud family reunion. This is the 1989 Quartet Encounters edition, ideal for bookshelf completionists, literary masochists, and anyone who enjoys prose that demands a strong drink and a quiet room. Paper smells like the Cold War, cover?s got charm, and yes?it?s that kind of book: acclaimed, unread, and possibly cursed. Buy it before someone else decides they want to look smarter than you.
