Description

The Death of Virgil A Novel by Hermann Broch is a profound meditation on life and death, set against the backdrop of ancient Rome. Begun while the author was imprisoned in a German concentration camp, this novel is a powerful exploration of the human experience. Out of the last hours of Virgil's life, Broch has fashioned a work that embraces an entire world, rendering it with an immediacy that is both sensual and profound. The result is a book that is part historical novel and part prose poem, an intensely musical and evocative meditation on the relationship between life and death. This powerful and deeply moving novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in modernist literature and the human condition.
