Lesekreis: Robert Musil – Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften

Description

This outdoor book club invites participants to engage deeply with Robert Musil's 'The Man Without Qualities' through 12 weekly Monday evening meetings. Each session involves reading approximately 80-100 pages, complemented by walks through Friedhof Sihlfeld and discussions in quiet settings or nearby cafes in case of rain. The focus is on the themes of Vienna around 1913 and Ludwig Wittgenstein, set against a backdrop of significant political and cultural change before World War I. Participants are encouraged to prepare specific editions and optional supplementary readings, with opportunities for cultural activities and an exhibition at the end.
