by Broch, Hermann
San Francisco: North Point Press, 1987. Softcover. NF contents; covers have light shelf wear and lightly-faded but unbroken spine.. Mint green and teal card wraps; 292 pp. with no illus. Broch portrays an apathetic and debased European society - the "guilty guiltless" who unknowingly nurtured the growth of fascism. Broch follows the lives of people, over 3 decades before WWII, who sense, beyond the limits of their conscious understanding, the disintegration of traditional values. Broch exposes a shared guilt the "reaches upward into magical and metaphorical spheres and downward to the darkest realms of instinct." Originally published in 1950. History repeats itself.
