Description
Agathe Or, The Forgotten Sister by Robert Musil is a profound exploration of spirituality in the modern world. When brother and sister Agathe and Ulrich are reunited over their dead father's bier, they embark on a journey of intense "holy conversations" that challenge their understanding of sexuality, sensuality, identity, and being. As they seek to discover a new form of existence, Agathe and Ulrich enlarge the boundaries of human experience. This novel, part of Musil's great unfinished work, offers a unique perspective on the human condition. With its acuity, audacity, and unsettling poetry, it is a book that can be life-changing. Translated by Joel Agee, this edition brings new clarity to a dimension of Musil's work that was closest to his own heart.
