This study reveals Broch as a major historian as well, one who believes that true historical understanding requires the faculties of both poet and philosopher. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough an analysis of the changing thought and career of the Austrian poet, librettist, and essaist Hugo von Hofmannsthal (1874-1929), Broch attempts to define and analyze the major intellectual issues of the European fin de si鐵le, a period that he characterizes according to the Nietzschean concepts of the breakdown of rationality and the loss of a central value system. The result is a major examination of European thought as well as a comparative study of political systems and artistic styles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hermann Broch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226075168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226075167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.03w x 0.55d","brand":"Hermann Broch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913419063551,"sku":"9780226075167","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e8efa1f3-495d-4baa-aed5-b47c7a219262.jpg?v=1680620303","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hugo-von-hofmannsthal-and-his-hermann-broch-9780226075167","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
