Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The trilogy of novels called THE SLEEPWALKERS form an amazing portrait of the collapse of European and German civilization in the early 20th century - starting with a satire on the stuffy militarism of early Wilhelmine Germany (THE ROMANTIC), through the seedy opportunism of the turn of the century (THE ANARCHIST) to the vacant despair of the First World War (THE REALIST). Each book can be read independently of the rest. THE ANARCHIST is the highly entertaining story of Esch, a shipping clerk who launches out into the glamorous world of managing female wrestlers. Through Esch's adventures Broch builds up an unforgettable picture of a society where all values are in disarray and of a Europe which hovers on the brink of Armageddon.
