Alianza Editorial La muerte de Virgilio
Concebida por Hermann Broch (1886-1951) en las cinco semanas que estuvo encarcelado en Alt-Ausse, tras ser detenido por la Gestapo, " La muerte de Virgilio " (1945) es sin lugar a dudas una de las obras fundamentales de la narrativa del siglo XX, pudiendo equiparase su influencia a la de las grandes obras de Kafka o Joyce. En la novela, situada en la época del emperador romano Augusto, el poeta Virgilio, en las horas anteriores a su muerte, cae en un duermevela en el que se funden el pasado y el presente, el sueño y la vigilia, lo tangible y la alucinación. Dilatada al máximo su capacidad de percepción por su progresivo desprendimiento de la realidad, lleva a cabo un minucioso análisis de su entorno físico y mental que se corresponde en la forma con una exploración profunda de las posibilidades del lenguaje.

Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group The Sleepwalkers a Trilogy Vintage International
Broch performs with an impeccable virtuosity. --Aldous HuxleyWith his epic trilogy, Hermann Broch established himself as one of the great innovators of modern literature, a visionary writer-philosopher equivalent of James Joyce, Thomas Mann, or Robert Musil. 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. Whether he is writing about a neurotic army officer (The Romantic), a disgruntled bookkeeper and would-be assassin (The Anarchist), or an opportunistic war-deserter (The Realist), 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.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Hermann Broch and Mass Hysteria: Theory and Representation in the Age of Extremes
The first English-language monograph on Hermann Broch's literary and theoretical work on mass hysteria. Winner of the 2023 Radomír Luža Prize for the Best Manuscript in Austrian/Czechoslovak Studies in the World War II Era Austrian Jewish author Hermann Broch (1886-1951), a leading figure of European Modernism, spent decades attempting to understand the phenomenon of mass hysteria. With his work, he hoped to help protect society from the allure of mass hysteria, embodied in the fanatical appeal of National Socialism. He was torn between two approaches to the problem: using literature to diagnose and expose the irrational knowledge that underpins mass hysteria, and employing theory as a more precise and effective means of doing the same. In this first English-language monograph on the topic, Brett E. Sterling traces the development of Broch's understanding of the mass from an initial confrontation in 1918 to a recurring theme in his fiction and ultimately to the monumental but incomplete Massenwahntheorie (Theory of Mass Hysteria, 1939-48). In thorough readings of Broch's major fictional and theoretical works, the analysis centers on the question of how his literature and theory provide distinct but complementary approaches to conceiving and representing the elusive figure of the mass and the attendant experience of mass hysteria. With political extremism and conspiratorial thinking on the rise, Sterling makes the case that Broch's insights into mass hysteria - literary as well as theoretical - are of renewed relevance to a contemporary audience.
