Even as he grounded his narratives in the intimate daily life of Germany, Broch was identifying the oceanic changes that would shortly sweep that life into the abyss. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Whether he is writing about a neurotic army officer (\u003ci\u003eThe Romantic\u003c\/i\u003e), a disgruntled bookkeeper and would-be assassin (\u003ci\u003eThe Anarchist\u003c\/i\u003e), or an opportunistic war-deserter (\u003ci\u003eThe Realist\u003c\/i\u003e), Broch immerses himself in the twists of his characters' psyches, and at the same time soars above them, to produce a prophetic portrait of a world tormented by its loss of faith, morals, and reason.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHermann Broch\u003c\/b\u003e (1886-1951) was born in Vienna, where he trained as an engineer and studied philosophy and mathematics.
