La guerra parallela
Negli anni terribili della Grande Guerra Robert Musil fu soldato e "inviato al fronte" sui generis. Famose le sue memorie di guerra - veri e propri articoli di giornale, ma anche prove letterarie - contenute nella serie "Soldaten Zeitung", il giornale di guerra che egli tenne per documentare la vita dei combattenti. Musil ci offre in queste pagine un ritratto spietato della sua epoca, ma è capace anche di raccontarci la propria personale inadeguatezza all'evento che sta vivendo.
