The book offers, in full scope, an engaging synthesis of the most stimulating ideas and tendencies in the novels and plays of a wide circle of writers from France (Proust, Gide, Camus, Céline, Tzara, Aragon, Simone Weil), England and Ireland (Virginia Woolf, Orwell, Joyce, Beckett), the USA (Scott Fitzgerald, Arthur Miller, O?Neill, Hemingway), Austria-Hungary (Musil, Broch, Kafka, Zweig, Roth), and Germany (Hesse, Jünger, Böll, Thomas Mann). Caught between world wars, they nevertheless succeeded in creating some of the best literature ever. They created a philosophy as well, rejecting bourgeois ?mechanical? society, designing escape routes from the nihilism of the times. 410 0$aLiterary Modernism$v4. 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zEurope 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zUnited States 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.042 700 $aHermans$b Cornelis Andreas Marie$01594106 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821398303321 996 $aInterbellum literature$93914538 997 $aUNINA
